Kevin Sorbo Blasts Hollywood Blacklisting of Conservatives, Touting 1 Redemption Film

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 19

Summary

  • Kevin Sorbo said Hollywood sidelines actors and creators with conservative or Christian views, likening the industry’s behavior to “seventh grade mean girls” in a Fox News Digital interview.
  • Sorbo tied that criticism to his own experience, saying conservatives are now “in the closet” after he was canceled, though he added he is still working and hears private support from other actors.
  • “Elijah Peel,” the faith-based film now in theaters, framed the interview: Sorbo said the movie’s addiction-and-redemption story reflects the kind of spiritually grounded storytelling Hollywood has largely abandoned.
  • Sorbo also said addiction can be a spiritual battle and claimed he has seen “demonic stuff” in Hollywood, broadening his critique into a wider argument about faith, morality and religion’s place in American culture.
