Hollywood's Silent Shift: Kevin Sorbo Talks Politics, Films, and Faith
Kevin Sorbo, a well-known figure in Hollywood, recently shared his insights on the entertainment industry's political landscape, film production challenges, and his upcoming documentary. He asserts that Hollywood has been subtly rebelling against the long-standing liberal ideology that has dominated the industry for over a decade.
The Battle Against Cancel Culture
Sorbo claims he was one of the first victims of cancel culture, facing backlash from his manager and agent around 12 years ago due to his conservative views. Despite this, he finds the situation amusing, as his political stance has always been known. He sees this as a sign that the industry is ready for change and that the battle lines are being drawn.
Global Film Production Incentives
The actor also discussed the impact of global film production incentives, particularly in Canada. He explained that the financial benefits, such as tax credits and favorable exchange rates, make it difficult for American productions to compete. This system also creates barriers for American actors, as Canadian productions often have quotas for local talent to qualify for full tax benefits.
Praise for Donald Trump
Sorbo praised former President Donald Trump's involvement in entertainment issues, appreciating his straightforward approach. He criticized those who seem to seek offense in everything and hopes Trump continues to address cultural battles that conservatives have avoided for too long.
New Documentary: "Standing Against the World"
In addition to his acting career, Sorbo is working on a new documentary called "Standing Against the World," co-created with Oxford mathematician John Lennox. The film aims to make complex theological arguments accessible to a wider audience. Sorbo humorously refers to it as "apologetics for dummies," encouraging viewers to check it out on Amazon.
Upcoming Projects
Looking ahead, Sorbo has a busy schedule with six movies in the works and two more documentaries planned for early next year. His diverse projects reflect his commitment to both entertainment and thought-provoking content.
