He is nothing but a Trump Christofascist troll on Twitter. Nobody will touch him (other than Left Behind/God's Not Dead series). The only value he has is getting entertainingly owned by Lucy Lawless.
Regarding just Andromeda, I'm going to clip some text from wikipedia.
Controversy erupted in the midst of the second season, when series developer and executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe announced he had been released from the show's production [...] The reason for the change was purportedly to make the show more episodic and open to casual viewing.
And
In discussion on his website's forums and various interviews, Wolfe has elaborated that he was released from the production staff after he refused to shift the show's focus more heavily onto Kevin Sorbo's character, Dylan Hunt, by essentially making all of the show's episodes as Hunt-centric.
After that Sorbo become an executive producer on the show. The longer running plots set up by Wolfe were dropped and replaced by episodic low brow Hercules In Space stories. Looking at the quoted text above, it's clear that's exactly what the network wanted. Louder, dumber, and cheaper content to fill afternoon rerun time slots. Sorbo isn't exactly an innocent actor caught up in show with a management dispute, since he was the one who ended up getting Wolfe's job.
Because he is a complete loony extreme right-wing intolerant christian fanatic POS.
I used to like Andromeda, but now I can't stand the sight of him as Dylan Hunt.
He got political, so if your against his politics you hate him because no one separates the art from the artist anymore. He was never really much more than a B list TV actor anyway so most people just don't even care.
A bit of an odd approach to say that a show that 99% of people don't know exists shouldn't be Gene's legacy. Seems like it's just more likely to make people know about. A Space Streisand effect.
While it was not the masterpiece that Cleopatra 2525 was, the first season is kind of a look at some interesting ideas. It was written, developed, and produced by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who had been a writer on Deep Space 9 for five years. I'm not going to say that first season is as good as DS9, but it is interesting looking at Roddenberry's unfinished notes filtered through the sensibilities of a DS9 writer. Once Wolfe got pushed out by Sorbo and the network executives scummy maneuvering, the show turned into the dumpster fire that it is known as, at least among the people who know it exists in the first place.
I actually liked Andromeda, although a lot of the acting was just terrible. But I always enjoy Lexa Doig and Gordon Michael Woolvett as Seamus was fun.
But my god, the smugness just pours off of Kevin Sorbo.
I don't remember much about the show, but I do remember there was a distinct tone shift in, I want to say, season 2 that made me go from "skeptical but willing" to "WTF is this bullshit?"
I think the Dylan Hunt casting had a downward trend.
Alex Cord in āGenesis IIā >> John Saxon in āPlanet Earthā >>>>>>>>>>> Kevin Sorbo in āAndromedaā
Although all the blond women leads - Mariette Hartley; Diana Muldaur and Lisa Ryder respectively - were all better actors than the content they were given to work with.
I keep seeing "Andromeda" pop up as a movie and thinking "I'm pretty sure I've seen that" but then don't recognize the description. Because I remember this show, not that movie!
I gotta find this shit and watch it again. I haven't seen it since it was new.
