<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/one-way-street-kevin-sorbo-says-hollywood-canceled-him-because-hes-christian-and-conservative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Sorbo</a> talked exclusively to The Daily Wire about what he said are the ongoing attacks on masculinity in our culture from movies and TV — and said it&#8217;s why he wrote his new children&#8217;s book &#8220;Test of Lionhood.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-sorbo-says-he-doesnt-want-to-hear-about-gun-control-after-biden-willingly-freed-an-incredibly-dangerous-arms-dealer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">64-year-old actor</a> said his book centers on a lion cub, who through a series of events, must face his own fears and accept a quest that &#8220;leads him to courage and strength&#8221; to save his sister. He said the reason he decided to do a kids’ book rather than one geared towards an older group is that kids today need to hear the message &#8220;let boys be boys and let girls be girls.&#8221;
&#8220;Look what we are doing to kids today from our public education system, through television and movies, this whole thing about toxic masculinity,&#8221; the &#8220;Hercules&#8221; star told us. &#8220;For decades now we have been trying to make men more feminine and we&#8217;re trying to make women more masculine.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Masculinity is under attack today. We need to teach our kids what Biblical masculinity looks like. 
That’s why I wrote a kid’s book titled The Test of Lionhood with <a href="https://twitter.com/Bravebooks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bravebooks</a>! You can get it for free when you subscribe to the book of the month club. <a href="https://t.co/JeLKjmcO6T">https://t.co/JeLKjmcO6T</a>

&#8220;We need our boys to become strong men who can lead their families, communities, in a more positive direction,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The Bible calls for us [men] to be providers. For men to be providers and that takes nothing away from women.”
The &#8220;Andromeda&#8221; star said it&#8217;s clear the &#8220;family unit is under attack,&#8221; especially fatherhood, not just in entertainment, but in every aspect of our lives.
&#8220;The Bible teaches us to honor the father, sitcoms teach us to dishonor the father,&#8221; he added. &#8220;For a confused generation of men, which we have now, it&#8217;s much easier for public schools, universities, TV, movies, government, to control that.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s a total opposite of a generation of men that are seeking the truth,&#8221; Sorbo continued. &#8220;Which is why I think they reject people like me who stand up for Conservative values and christian values.&#8221;
However, the superstar said he does see a sign of hope that people are getting tired of the woke agenda coming out of Hollywood, noting the success of the independent film &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actor-jim-caviezel-sends-message-to-fans-as-sound-of-freedom-surpasses-150-million-mark" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sound of Freedom</a>,&#8221; which did better at the domestic box office than Disney&#8217;s latest &#8220;Indiana Jones&#8221; movie.
&#8220;I think people are getting sick of the crap Hollywood&#8217;s doing,&#8221; Sorbo said. &#8220;Case in point Hollywood, Hollywood&#8217;s about to be on its way to lose well over one billion dollars in theaters this year.&#8221;
&#8220;What does that show you,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It shows you people are sick of this woke stuff &#8230; People are tired of the woke stuff from Hollywood and they are tired of the woke message.&#8221;
The actor, who has a new movie coming out of his Sorbo Studios in October called &#8220;Miracle In East Texas,&#8221; admitted &#8220;we got a culture battle on our hands. Hollywood&#8217;s winning it, but tied is turning. People are sick of it and the lions out there are waking up.&#8221;

The 64-year-old actor told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/hercules-actor-kevin-sorbo-hollywood-canceled-christian-beliefs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> that he was &#8220;blackballed&#8221; in the entertainment industry, and his agent and manager told him his religious and political beliefs were to blame for why the offers for work dried up.
&#8220;It was sad to me, you know, my manager and agent for so many years said that we can&#8217;t get you jobs anymore, work with you because of you being a Christian, being a conservative,&#8221; Sorbo said.
&#8220;And I almost had to laugh at that because it&#8217;s an industry that screams for tolerance, and yet it&#8217;s a one-way street,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It screams for freedom of speech. But Hollywood&#8217;s a one-way street as well. And that&#8217;s just too bad, you know. But I love the industry. I love the movies and TV.&#8221;

&#8220;It was really weird,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;I mean, here&#8217;s the thing. We have such a huge divide in our country right now, and it&#8217;s perpetuated by the mainstream media, perpetuated by movies, TV. I don&#8217;t harbor that kind of anger and hatred towards people. I have a different point of view.&#8221;

Kevin&#8217;s wife, Sam Sorbo, told the outlet that her husband was even kicked off LinkedIn and Facebook for his beliefs.
&#8220;Even LinkedIn took me down,&#8221; Sorbo said with a laugh. &#8220;They don&#8217;t like the truth. I say on [X, formerly Twitter], I said, &#8216;I need more conspiracy theories because all of mine came true.&#8217; But did Facebook apologize for taking me down even though I was right? No, because they don&#8217;t like the truth. The truth is too difficult for some people to take.&#8221;
The comments came as Sorbo and his wife promoted their upcoming movie &#8220;<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8531464/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_2_tt_8_nm_0_q_Miracle%2520In%2520" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miracle in East Texas</a>,&#8221; coming out of the couple&#8217;s <a href="https://www.sorbostudios.com/miracle-in-east-texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sorbo Studios</a> in October. He said it&#8217;s a movie based on a true story &#8220;about love and hope and faith and laughter.&#8221;
Sorbo and Sam tied the knot in 1998 and have two sons, Braeden, 21, and Shane, 19, and a daughter, Octavia, 17.

Actor Kevin Sorbo said the Left has lost the argument for gun control after President Joe Biden &#8220;willingly freed&#8221; an &#8220;incredibly dangerous arms dealer&#8221; through the prisoner swap for WNBA star Brittney Griner.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-sorbo">64-year-old actor</a> reacted Friday on <a href="https://twitter.com/ksorbs/status/1601250155084513280?s=20&amp;t=_LGGa8nLqfkJe5WAfojQPA">Twitter</a> to the news of Biden releasing notorious Russian weapons dealer Viktor Bout, known as the &#8220;Merchant of Death,&#8221; in exchange for Griner&#8217;s freedom after she was arrested on drug charges in February.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to hear anything about gun control from the left after they willingly freed an incredibly dangerous arms dealer,&#8221; Sorbo tweeted to his 1.4 million followers.

Fox Business analyst Dagen McDowell tweeted, &#8220;The US releases arms dealer Viktor Bout to Russia in exchange for Brittney Griner. &#8216;You&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find a man with more blood on his hands,&#8217; says Chris Swecker, former head of the FBI&#8217;s criminal div.

Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-sorbo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Sorbo</a> says he&#8217;s talked to plenty of &#8220;closeted&#8221; conservative <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actors</a> who thank him for speaking out about his views &#8212; which leaves him wondering why they don&#8217;t advocate for themselves.
Sorbo, best known for his role as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules:_The_Legendary_Journeys">Hercules</a>, is openly conservative, which has negatively affected his <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/the-daily-wire-takes-on-woke-hollywood/id1047335260?i=1000551680066" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a> career.
&#8220;We do need more,&#8221; he <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/actor-kevin-sorbo-id-get-oscar-nomination-if-i-played-radical-islamic-pedophile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> &#8220;Just the News&#8221; of openly conservative actors. &#8220;I have actors come up to me on the set over the last five, six years saying, &#8216;Hey, thank you for being a voice for us.&#8217; And I said, &#8216;Well, why don&#8217;t you be a voice for yourself?'&#8221;
&#8220;But they&#8217;re all afraid to come out of that conservative closet because we&#8217;re the ones getting bashed and attacked,&#8221; Sorbo added.
The 64-year-old, though, said he wouldn&#8217;t change anything, even if he&#8217;s no longer &#8220;doing big budget TV shows or movies.&#8221;
&#8220;I still have a career,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;that&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;m doing the movies that I want to do.&#8221;
Sorbo frequently weighs in on social and political issues, as well as Hollywood&#8217;s increased so-called wokeness.
The actor in June <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actor-kevin-sorbo-challenges-critics-claiming-old-white-men-cant-decide-roe-v-wade-with-historic-throwback-shot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offered pro-abortion celebs a history lesson</a> following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by posting a photo of the SCOTUS justices in 1973, who originally weighed in on the case. “So, old white men can’t decide what women do with their bodies but this is who passed Roe V Wade …” the “Andromeda” actor <a href="https://twitter.com/ksorbs/status/1541483936542605319?s=20&amp;t=d98tmpKBPngCFQi0pq7izg">captioned</a> the post.
And in July 2021, Sorbo spoke to Fox Business about the anti-American rhetoric coming out of Hollywood with regard to a Marvel Comics mini-series that promotes the idea that the American Dream can become the “American lie,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-levels-of-insanity-actor-kevin-sorbo-slams-new-woke-captain-america-comic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“We keep reaching new levels of insanity,” Sorbo said. “It’s obvious America is a great country. This is just another example of lies from the Left.”
“Walt Disney said back in the 1950s … movies and television will influence our youth,” he continued. “Look at what’s going on in the streets across America today, especially in all the blue states and the blue cities, and all the anger and hate and violence going on out there.”
“I think people that really think this is a horrible country really should go spend a year in other countries where they think their utopia is and find out what socialism and communism truly is all about,” Sorbo added.

Superstar Kevin Sorbo challenged critics who are posting on social media that &#8220;old white men can&#8217;t decide what women&#8221; can do with their bodies when he posted a historic throwback shot of the justices who originally decided Roe V. Wade in 1973.
The 63-year-old TV star gave celebrities upset about the United States Supreme Court decision to overturn the landmark abortion ruling, as a result of the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization, a history lesson by posting a photo of the SCOTUS justices in 1973 who originally weighed in on exactly what women can and can&#8217;t do with their bodies, pointing out the hypocrisy of their argument.
&#8220;So, old white men can&#8217;t decide what women do with their bodies but this is who passed Roe V Wade …&#8221; the &#8220;Andromeda&#8221; star <a href="https://twitter.com/ksorbs/status/1541483936542605319?s=20&amp;t=d98tmpKBPngCFQi0pq7izg">tweeted</a> Monday to his million plus followers.
The actor&#8217;s post included a black and white photo of the then-justices of the United States Supreme Court, showing Justice Warren E. Burger along with Justice William O. Douglas, Justice William J. Brennan Jr., Justice Potter Stewart, Justice Byron White, Justice Thurgood Marshall, Justice Harry Blackmun, Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., and Justice William Rehnquist. The photo can be seen below.
Marshall, who is also pictured, is the first African American Justice to the court.
