Actor Kevin Sorbo, known for playing Hercules, says he does not plan to return to California and that the state can keep what he describes as its taxes, traffic, and “negativity.” He says he moved to Florida nearly seven years ago for reasons tied to his family and career and has since settled there.
Sorbo also frames his comments as part of a broader message to other conservatives in entertainment. He urges peers to stop what he calls hiding, drawing on his own experiences after relocating. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one focuses on Sorbo’s personal remarks about California, while the other highlights his challenge to colleagues in the industry.
