Hollywood’s war on conservative values is crumbling before our eyes.
The entertainment industry thought they could silence anyone who dared speak the truth.
And Kevin Sorbo just delivered one message that has Hollywood executives scrambling.
Hollywood’s "first cancel culture victim" is getting the last laugh
Kevin Sorbo knows what it’s like to be thrown overboard by Hollywood’s woke mob.
The 66-year-old actor became a household name playing Hercules in the hit series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" from 1995 to 1999.
But his career in Tinseltown came to a screeching halt over a decade ago when studios discovered his conservative Christian values.
"Well, I’m the first cancel culture victim before I knew it was a term," Sorbo told Fox News Digital. "Hollywood booted me up a dozen years ago for things I was posting on the internet."¹
The entertainment establishment couldn’t stand that Sorbo was willing to post the truth online about politics and his faith.
"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," Sorbo explained.¹
He wasn’t exaggerating when he said Hollywood treated him like a pariah.
"So I’m like a double leper to them. I’m, like, kryptonite or something," Sorbo said.¹
Rather than bow down to the Hollywood machine, Sorbo and his wife decided to create their own studio and he’s been shooting at least four movies a year since saying goodbye to the industry.
But now the tables are turning in a big way.
Trump’s return is forcing Hollywood to face reality
President Donald Trump’s return to the White House is already shaking up the entertainment industry.
Studios that wouldn’t return Sorbo’s calls for over a decade are now reaching out with open arms.
"I think with Trump in office again right now, there’s definitely a shift," Sorbo revealed. "People will hate him in front, but those people that hate him, they’re gonna see their lives get better. Trust me."¹
The proof is in the phone calls Sorbo is suddenly receiving.
"And Hollywood is shifting a little bit because I’m starting to get calls from the studios saying, ‘Hey, there’s a big thing with this stuff. So maybe send us a couple of scripts,’" Sorbo continued.¹
He’s not wasting any time capitalizing on this new openness.
"So, I’m reaching out to Netflix and Amazon with a couple of scripts that I have that aren’t in your face about faith, but the messages are there," Sorbo continued. "There’s a positive message instead of negative ones, so I think we’ve reached a tipping point."¹
Follow the money – Hollywood’s woke experiment backfires
Look, we all know what’s really driving this sudden Hollywood conversion. It’s not some epiphany about conservative values.
Their wallets are getting absolutely crushed by woke garbage that nobody wants to watch.
"I think people are tired of it, and Hollywood’s tired of losing money, like they’re going to lose another $300 million on this woke Disney movie with ‘Snow White,’" Sorbo pointed out.¹
Think about it – Disney has torched billions on films that lecture families instead of entertaining them. Meanwhile, networks are watching their ratings collapse faster than a house of cards. Turns out, most Americans don’t want to be preached to during their downtime. Who could have predicted that?
"So, I think the American people are fed up, and I think they showed it in the last election as well," Sorbo observed. "They said enough is enough of this stuff."¹
November’s election results didn’t just shock the political establishment – they sent panic waves through Hollywood boardrooms. The math was brutal and undeniable. When Trump won decisively, entertainment executives finally grasped what many of us have been saying for years: regular Americans reject their radical messaging.
"So I just think it’s just the pendulum swinging back and forth, right? And I think we’re going back to the right side now," Sorbo said.¹
What audiences actually want to watch
Here’s the thing that Hollywood forgot while chasing woke points – people want stories that don’t make them feel terrible about their country and values.
Sorbo’s got a perfect example with his 2010 film "What If…" hitting theaters again on August 5 and 7 for its 15th anniversary, complete with new bonus content.
The story follows a businessman who walked away from his faith, only to wake up one day living a completely different life – married to his college sweetheart and pastoring a small-town church.
"That’s what Hollywood used to put out there, movies that had hope and love and laughter and redemption and faith," Sorbo explained.¹
Notice what’s missing from that list? Lectures about privilege. Sermons about systemic this or that. Just good storytelling that doesn’t make you want to apologize for being American.
"And, you know, Hollywood used to do a lot of these kinds of movies. And I think they’re waking up a little bit now because they’re losing a lot of money on this woke insanity," Sorbo continued.¹
The entertainment industry built its reputation creating content that brought families together around the TV set. Now they’re scrambling to figure out how to win back the millions of viewers who got tired of being lectured by people who live in gated communities.
Here’s what’s really happening – actors like Sorbo, Kirk Cameron, and Chris Pratt chose their faith over Hollywood’s puppet strings. The establishment tried to destroy their careers for it.
But guess what? They’re still standing. And now they’re the ones getting the phone calls.
Trump being back in office isn’t just changing politics – it’s forcing every entertainment executive to stare at their balance sheets and ask some uncomfortable questions. How many more billions are they willing to lose on content that makes regular Americans roll their eyes?
The writing’s on the wall, and even the densest studio head can read it by now. Woke sells about as well as a screen door on a submarine.
