Kevin Sorbo February calendars

These lovely calendars are from Sanne and Loli:

Kevin Sorbo looked like the son of a god…

This wonderful entry is from Loli, who gives us so much amazing art! Please see her links on the blogroll at right…

I’m really not sure how to get my story started… It’s been a while. I’ve got just glimpses… Yes, I do remember what I felt at that time, it was great!

It was afternoon, maybe Monday. I was feeling a bit bored, surfing the T.V. channels, waiting for something enjoyable. And then… the gods of Olympus were there!

“Are really there men like those?” I kept wondering to myself, for he, in fact, looked like the son of a god.

I fell in love with him right way: with the man, with the character… I became his first fan, a platonic love, and yet so caring.

At that time I did not have a PC (computer), and then my hubby gave me one. The first thing I did was to surf on the internet searching for information about Kevin Sorbo, and then something wonderful got started in my life.

I had the chance to learn about the man, the character, the actor, the Human Being, (how) really great Kevin is.

However, the most important thing I owe to Kevin Sorbo is not just enjoying his wonderful job as a talented actor – he could turn every regular movie or a show into a classy one – but, more than that. I’ve gotten the unique chance of meeting people on (the) internet all over the world who share my admiration for him – all his amazing fans (with) whom I’ve gotten the privilege of sharing so many things about my life.

I’ve been through hard times, and yet, the joy covers them. And I believe that from bad times we emerge stronger and more experienced.

I must only thank Mr. Sorbo, my private Doctor Sorbo, for so many things he has given me: good movies I can spend my free time with even though I’m not able to understand them sometimes because they are in English (smile), great friends and buddies who are with me in joy and sadness, (and) a lot of emailed stories. Oh, yes, there are a lot of gifts, Mr. Sorbo.

And I thank you for all of them.

From Spain, really touched and longing to meet you in person one day. I wish you all the best!

Kisses!

New live chat for Kevin Sorbo fans

This is so exciting that I couldn’t wait to tell you! Gina (NyxxRose) established a live chatroll for all of us. It’s like Twitter or any other Instant Messenger program, but you don’t need an account and you can post more than a set amount of characters. And best of all, it’s in real time, which means you’re chatting live, on-the-spot with other fans like you who love Kevin!

We can now get to know each other better and discuss our likes and dislikes, families, cultures, countries, and, of course… Kevin!

Please find it here: http://chatroll.com/kevin-sorbo-fans-unite

We are wondering if maybe scheduled chat times might be good so we all know when to be there, but with so many of us being spread throughout the world, naturally our hours are different. Maybe we can find some common time slots.

Also, feel free to set your own time with your friends, and anyone can drop in to say, “Hi.”

Please let me know what you think or Gina at her blog, http://nyxxblueroserealm.blogspot.com/ where you will also find a link to the chatroll.

Find the link on my blogroll at right entitled, Kevin Sorbo Fans Chatroll.

How cool is this?! Thanks, Gina… well done!

* Please join our first scheduled chat Friday, 1/29, at 9 p.m. EST. Hope to see you there! *

Is Kevin Sorbo just a little like Rick in “Wolf Canyon”?!

This charming short story about Linda T. was originally sent by Mara, but Linda added her comments and photo from the 2007 Dragon Con:

Linda is a woman (of) over 50 years with blue eyes, a sweet smile, and a heart of a girl. She is married and has one son still small. (She) had waited eight years to meet Kevin.

Kevin enters the soul of the people, and so he leaves the room – our hearts with longing fade…

Good… (Linda) was in the signing line at Dragon Con, already very close to the desk of Kevin, when her cell phone rang. She was talking to her husband, Kevin and his assistant, Linda, realized.

When it came her turn, Kevin said, “Give me your phone. I will tell your husband that we just woke up after a night together.”

Linda laughed, and said, “He would have believed you because you and Steve (Bacic) are the only men with whom he would allow me to have an affair!”

Note from Linda: I did not give Kevin the phone. In fact, we had just hung up by the time I got to Kevin, but I still had my phone in my hand.

Review of “Wolf Canyon” starring Kevin Sorbo

Hercules Hunt saw “Wolf Canyon” and offered her musings:
 
I watched “Wolf Canyon” (over Christmas) with great enthusiasm as I anticipated a different type of role for Kevin Sorbo.

It was more than I expected: Kevin as we’ve never seen him before! Terms that come to mind when I think of Rick (Kevin’s character), a.k.a. Sheriff Andrew Wolf, are “audacious,” “smutty,” “sex addict,” “deliciously provocative,” and, of course, he is very funny. The role of Rick shows Kevin’s incredible depth and confidence as an actor; he plays Rick beautifully and with much ease.

“Wolf Canyon” is the name of the show within Wolf Canyon, and could have been titled, “Everybody Hates Rick,” but it’s far from your typical hit sitcom show type. It has a modern comedy feel to it complete with all the characters dealing with major personal issues.

One of the funniest characters is Diane, the producer (Nikki Payne), who constantly seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Her funny speech pattern and stressed-out levels give her that special quazi- ”not all there,” goofy quality that is absolutely hilarious to watch.

Kevin’s character makes his debut entrance in hangover mode looking like he hasn’t showered in days, hits on a few ladies, gets dragged away and run away from, and passes out in front of the cast and crew from his drunken stupor. And that’s only the first episode… 

I will also say that I feel this show has star quality and has the ingredients of a hit show. It’s a cross between “Trailer Park Boys” and “Meet the Spartans”!! The entire cast and crew hit the nail on the head with brilliant performances, script, and comedy genre. I think “Wolf Canyon” is one of Kevin’s best roles, and I do hope everyone gets to see it! 

Cheers, 
HH

Kevin Sorbo in Fine Art

Kevin Sorbo speaks at OCSWA event

Kevin recently spoke at an event for the Orange County Screenwriters Association.

December 5th Event with Kevin Sorbo

Submitted by marse (Mark Sevi) on Mon, 2009-12-14 10:26

On December 5, 2009 the Orange County Screenwriters Association (OCSWA) was proud to host a Q&A with Mr. Kevin Sorbo at the beautiful Regency South Coast Theater. As always, a special thanks to Larry Porricelli and Lyndon Golin at the Regency for making us feel at home.

I’ll admit I’m prejudiced. I really like Kevin Sorbo. I met him for the first time at a press conference for a film of mine he is slated to star in, “Illuminati: Out of Chaos Comes Order” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1264091/). He was amazingly open and friendly to everyone there, including the press. You just like this man – he’s truly genuine.

And to you, boss… Here’s to a fantastic year with your exciting new releases to which we will all flock to see and buy… The health of your friends and family… Your continued success… And that we don’t drive you too crazy tweeting and facebooking (is that a word?!) you… Salut!

Kevin mentors Jarrett Crippen in “Lightning Strikes”

This interesting piece is from Jarrett Crippen who played Deputy Al Johnson in “Lightning Strikes” with Kevin:

Greetings, Kevin fans,

I’d like to say that all of your fandom is completely justified.

When I first met Kevin I had just gotten done in wardrobe when he walked into the VERY small wardrobe trailer. I was walking out.

I didn’t want to bug THE STAR, so I just nodded and moved past him. He stopped, stuck out his hand and said, “HI! I’m Kevin.” (Like I didn’t know who he was…)

We began talking, and he found out I was his deputy and it continued on from there.

Turns out that when Kevin is abroad the last place he wants to be (unless he has other scripts and such to read, which he always seems to have) is his hotel room.

It was great walking the streets of Sophia (Bulgaria) with him, and he is incredibly magnanimous. If he noticed someone looking sideways at him he would take the time to stop and shake their hand. He was very patient as not all of them spoke English, although many do.

Kevin was also very patient with me as I am not an actor and had been given a significant role in the movie. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor in Kevin and in Gary Jones the director, both very nice and patient.

I hope you’ll like the movie. For a low budget affair I think it is very well done.

I wrote a story for CelebrityCafe.com that posted today. Please feel free to leave a comment. The more positive feedback the show receives, the more likely it is that we will see it on the air. Here is the link: http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/wolf-canyon-starring-kevin-sorbo-premieres-december-24-12-21-2009

Right: Kevin gets an earful and shoeful from his fictitious directors Quincy Barbara (Matty Finochio) and Jan Bailey (Ali Liebert). This looks like the follow-up to Kevin’s now infamous shoe-sniffing scene!
