Sorbo starred in the title role of the John Nicolella-directed fantasy for Universal Pictures, Kull the Conqueror (1997), with Tia Carrere, Harvey Fierstein, and Karina Lombard, delivering disastrous box office ($6 million gross against $35 million costs). Sorbo starred in a string of direct-to-video movies (including a Walking Tall series) before joining the cast for the lampoon movie, Meet the Spartans (2008), co-starring Sean Maguire, Carmen Electra, and Ken Davitian, co-directed and co-written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, and proving a financial success for 20^th Century Fox with $84 million returns and savaging reviews. Sorbo began to act in and produce a string of Christian movies, with God’s Not Dead (2014), with Dean Cain and directed by Harold Cronk, proving to be a big hit earning over $64 million (on a $2 million budget) for producers Pure Fix Entertainment and distributor Freestyle Releasing. Kevin Sorbo was the star/director/producer of the Christian drama, Let There Be Light (2017), with Sam Sorbo, Sean Hannity, Dionne Warwick, and Travis Tritt, and released by Atlas Distribution Company to a $7.2 million gross. Sorbo then joined the cast of Mira Sorvino, Austyn Johnson, and Peter Coyote in director/co-writer/producer Richard Correll’s Christian drama, The Girl Who Believes in Miracles (2021), returning to the paltry box office ($3.2 million). Sorbo continued his long string of Christian movies as star-director of the Canadian-produced apocalyptic drama, Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist (2023), a reboot of Left Behind (2014) featuring Neal McDonough, Bailey Chase, and Corbin Bernson, and grossing $4.2 million via 101 Films International. Sorbo co-starred with James Barrington, Edmund Kwan, Tupua Ainu’u, Eric Roberts, and Cuba Gooding Jr. in director/writer/producer Timothy A. Chey’s Christian drama, The Firing Squad (2024). Kevin Sorbo joined the cast of the much-delayed Sean McNamara-directed biopic, Reagan (2024), starring Dennis Quaid, Penelope Ann Miller, Robert Davi, Lesley-Anne Down, Jon Voight, Mena Suvari, Kevin Dillon, Jon Voight, and Dan Lauria, filmed in 2020 but delayed until ShowBiz Direct’s 2024 release.
