Kevin Sorbo Rules Out California Return After 7 Years in Florida

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 30

Summary

  • Nearly seven years after leaving California, Kevin Sorbo said he is permanently done with the state, saying the trade-off is not worth enduring its taxes, traffic and what he called negativity.
  • Florida gave him “acceptance,” Sorbo said, adding that new contacts and filmmaking opportunities have come through Sorbo Studios and the independent film community.
  • Sorbo tied the move to broader complaints about Hollywood, saying conservatives and Christians face blacklisting and that his own views have led to attempts to “cancel” him.
  • His comments came as faith-based film “Elijah Peel” opened in theaters, with Sorbo arguing projects like it show filmmakers can reach audiences outside Hollywood’s traditional gatekeepers.
