The Hercules: The Legendary Journeys actor told Fox News Digital that he has enjoyed living in Florida since leaving California about seven years ago. He acknowledged the state’s heat and humidity, but praised its winters. The Minnesota native said he misses California’s weather, his old house and the golf course he used to visit.
What he does not miss, Sorbo said, are California’s taxes, traffic and “negativity.” He also said he had made good contacts in Florida and described his experience there as “incredible.”
They can keep their taxes, they can keep their traffic, and they can keep their negativity, I’m done.
Sorbo, a political conservative, renewed his criticism of Hollywood, comparing its alleged blacklisting of people with conservative or Christian views to “seventh grade mean girls.” He said people can hold different opinions and claimed that conservatives now hide their views after seeing him “get canceled.” Sorbo said he has no plans to return to left-leaning California and added, “But I’m still working.”
A lot of things in Hollywood, with their blacklisting people that have conservative or Christian viewpoints, I find it like they’re seventh grade mean girls. It’s just ridiculous and childish to me. We all have different opinions. There’s nothing wrong with that.
His later roles have included appearances in Supergirl, Andromeda and The O.C., as well as Christian-themed projects. He has also publicly supported Donald Trump. His former Hercules co-star Lucy Lawless has criticized him on social media, including over his support for a theory that leftist agitators were responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Sorbo’s latest project, Elijah Peel, follows a rock star whose lifestyle leads to a heart attack before a sick girl inspires him to seek redemption.
But I’m still working.
