Kevin Sorbo during his Hercules days…. The actor has found a new home in the US.
Actor, producer and director Kevin Sorbo, who starred as mythological strongman Hercules in the ‘90s syndicated TV show will soon have a new home in Florida.
Sorbo is in contract to buy a three-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence in Jupiter’s new Forté Luxe peninsula waterfront community.
While the price he’s paying isn’t known, similar three-bedroom spreads in the gated complex are around $5 million to $5.4 million (AUD $7 million to $7.64 million); a four-bedroom on the market asks $7.9 million (AUD $11.2 million), The New York Post reports.
The townhouse is around 3,550 square feet.
It features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, beamed ceilings — plus a rooftop terrace with a summer kitchen, a fire pit, lounging areas and water views. There’s also a covered terrace with waterfront vistas.

The grounds will also include a community infinity pool and a sun deck.
Sorbo rose to fame in the ‘90s after playing the titular character in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, as well as Captain Dylan Hunt in the sci-fi series Andromeda.
The self-confessed conservative disappeared from screens in the early 2000s and has stated his belief that he was the first-ever victim of ‘cancel culture’.
“Well, I’m the first cancel culture victim before I knew it was a term,” Sorbo said last year during an interview with Fox News.
“Hollywood booted me up a dozen years ago for things I was posting on the internet.
“And I looked at my age and I said, ‘Oh, you guys are upset that I’m posting the truth? Is that a problem with you guys?’

“Because they hate the truth, and they hate anybody who’s a Christian in Hollywood, anybody who is a conservative.
So I’m like a double leper to them. I’m, like, kryptonite or something.”
Following his Hollywood exit, Sorbo partnered with his wife to establish Sorbo Studios where he shoots a number of films each year.
Sorbo has previously been called out by former castmates for racist remarks made on social media as well as on set.
Xena: Warrior Princess actor Lucy Lawless publicly slammed Sorbo during the 2024 US presidential campaign over comments he made regarding then Vice President Kamala Harris.
Lawless also recalled incidents on set during the 90s that left cast and crew “gobsmacked” after Sorbo had commented on the death of OJ Simpson’s wife, Nicole Brown.
