KEVIN SORBO: What if Hercules ignored his gut?

Actor Kevin Sorbo shares how trusting instincts led him from Hercules to "What If..." with Dallas Jenkins, revealing how gut feelings can transform careers and lives.

Kevin Sorbo is an actor, director, producer, and author best known for starring in "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys," Gene Roddenberry’s" Andromeda," and numerous faith-based films, including "What If…," "God’s Not Dead" and "Let There Be Light." "What If…" returns to theaters nationwide Aug. 5 and 7 for its 15th anniversary re-release.

All those years ago, it was as if there was a Herculean nudge in a little kid’s body. I could not name it back then, but I felt it in my bones.

Years later, pages and pictures would turn into a real costume, playing Hercules on a soundstage in New Zealand for what would become one of the most-watched shows in the world. But long before that break came, there were a thousand moments when I could have walked away and shut the book altogether, so to speak.
