Good luck getting hired after a Jan 6th conviction.
He aint exactly in an industry that cares about doing background checks if you understand.........
Maybe he'll go to the Daily Wire
Kevin Sorbo is looking to put a team together.
Oh, they rebooting One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
You know what the difference is between Kevin Sorbo and a fishing lure?
A fishing lure gets cast.
Looked up his imdb, he seems to be getting a lot of roles recently
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0001757/
Does it look like the sort of thing you'd want to watch, though?
You might see who's making all those movies. Because it's not Hollywood, other than the Reagan film, which he had a small part in and which also was a box-office bomb.
He makes right-wing Christian movies because those are the only roles he gets.
When he was Hercules, he was one of the biggest stars on TV.
But hey, he has an 8-episode sitcom on Twitter which I'm sure is hilarious and also a big success, like all TV shows on Twitter. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12825094/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_c_2
You're not making Christianity better, you're just making movies worse!
I don't really watch Christian movies.
The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. "Alone for Christmas". I can't really recommend that, either.
Yeah, nobody does. That's why citing them as Sorbo "getting a lot of roles" is a fucking joke.
"Hollywood" in this context refers to the American film industry, not necessarily the location. Major studios, national distribution, etc.
I surely know that you don't have to live in California if you're a movie star and get cast in legitimate movies anymore.
A large number of them aren't even shot in California anymore.
First of all, production companies are literally shooting in Georgia all the time. I have a friend who works in production in Atlanta.
Secondly, if they wanted Kevin Sorbo in movies, he could live wherever he wanted. He didn't abandon Hollywood, Hollywood abandoned him. Because he's a lunatic with an ego the size of Mount Olympus.
You aren’t wrong but be aware those are largely low value christian/conservative media roles
A lot of that list had me wondering if IMDB sometimes showed ratings out of 5
DISAPPOINTED!!!
Oh god, I always giggle like a child when I see this shit 😅
I mean, I kinda do, but that that's a separate issue from Trump.
According to my Facebook feed, every shitty right-wing actor you can think of is being offered $1B to start their own anti-woke streaming network.
God, I need to just add that site to my AdGuard list.
Many of whom are failed or has been actors.
Holy shit, Vince McMahon is rumored to be starting a media company. Could it be related?
I must not be shitty or right wing enough I have two credits to my name (one is as a forearm so you know I made it big) cause this is the first one heard. I could use a billion bucks
Maybe he can reboot Andromeda, but with even more fascism
I dunno, might be able to get a cabinet position depending on how the election goes.
I think Bob's burgers was kind enough to throw some work his way, he's been in a few episodes since the charges were laid.
Whether they'll do so when he gets out, or whether the class based stigma of the conviction will prevent them, is another question.
AIUI those were already partially in the can when he was still charged and they stuck by the "Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" especially since he is voicing the role and not appearing as a face actor. I don't expect that to be continued and I would expect a death or recasting soon.
As far as I know, Eric Bauza has voiced the character since the charges were brought to light.
He was replaced in 2023. I think there may have been a period where he was fired and they didn't have a replacement yet, and Jimmy Pesto just wasn't on the show, but I'm not certain.
https://screenrant.com/bobs-burgers-jimmy-pesto-replacement-perfect-jay-johnston/
Jimmy isn't a main character, most people probably never noticed he was replaced, I know I didn't.
oh, that's what you're calling insurrection conviction this week?
That's what I'm calling all prison convictions. Because there's a stigma there. It's part of why prison labour can be so easily exploited. Because it's a class based stigma.
Someone charged with a cannabis position isn't the same as someone charged with trying to overthrow an election.
