HERCULES RULES
There are many websites for both Hercules & Xena. There are
even web pages for many of the recurring characters such as Aphrodite, Ares,
Callisto, and Joxer. I'm shocked, however, that with all these sites out
there, there are so few dedicated to the man who started it all:
HERCULES
If Kevin Sorbo hadn't done such an excellent job of portraying
Hercules, those other characters would never have been created.
Who are MY favorite Hercules characters?
 |
Hercules,
of course - Played by
Kevin
Sorbo
Kevin has made Hercules into a gentle giant; a lover and
a fighter, strong in body and heart. A humble man. A sweetheart of a
guy. And SEXY!!

Ares
- Played
by Kevin
Smith
He is so cute when he's evil! |
|
 |
Callisto
- Played by
Hudson
Leick
She's adorable when she's mean!
|
Aphrodite

Alexandra
Tydings
"Baby Brother" Hercules helped Aphrodite grow from a self-centered
brat
(goddess of lust)
into a real goddess of love. |

These are the best actors I have ever seen. Whoever hired them is a
genius.
Kevin Sorbo (second only to Mel Gibson IMHO) is staring in a new
Sci-Fi series called "Andromeda" starting Sat 9-8-00. Could he be the next
Captain Kirk? (well, Kirk is cool, Shatner is a dork)
Captain
Dylan Hunk
-You might be a Kevin Sorbo fan if-
-
your dog, cat, fish, bird or hamster is named after characters from
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. (guilty - many foster puppies)
-
you have asked your husband to grow his hair long and wear leather pants.
(no, but it sounds like a cool idea! Hey MARVIN...)
-
you have caused bodily injury to yourself or someone else by racing
through the house to get to the TV because you thought you heard Kevin's
name mentioned on Entertainment Tonight. (I plead the 5th)
-
your entire family has matching Kull shirts and hats. (I have 2 Herc
shirts if that counts)
-
If you have resigned as President of the PTA because the meetings are
held on the same night that Hercules:TLJ airs. (What's a PTA?)
-
you have ditched the family vacation and headed off on your own to a
Hercules convention or fest. (not guilty)
-
If you have broken a lamp or other piece of furniture while trying to
perform one of the stunts Kevin does. (no, but it sounds like fun)
-
you've ever bought Hercules: TLJ dolls, swords, and other toys and told
the clerk they were for your kids even though your kids are now in their
early 20's. (No, I admit they're for ME)
-
you have spent so many days by the mailbox in anticipation of the next
newsletter, that the mailman thinks you have a thing for him. (not guilty
- I'm not THAT pathetic!)
-
If you have threatened bodily harm to anyone who removes your tape from
the VCR or in anyway causes the taping of Hercules:TLJ to be missed. (I plead
the 5th)
-
you have ever called in sick to work so that you can stay home and see
Kevin on one of the daytime talk shows.(When! AAHHH I missed it?!)
-
you have ever forgotten your children's names and replaced them with
Hercules:TLJ names. ("ARES! Iolus! If I have to tell you to sit down one
more time, I'm going to turn this wagon around!") (don't think so...)
-
If, during childbirth, you traded the idea of breathing techniques to
control the pain for reciting the dialogue to the opening theme of Hercules
:TLJ. ("...His strength is surpassed only by the power of his heart..." (melt
me and call me butter))
Ones I added myself:
-
· You have a dozen or more sound effects from Hercules on your
computer. (guilty as charged)
-
· Your heart rate reaches aerobic speed whenever you see Hercules
running toward you onscreen. (yeah baby!)
-
You nickname your husband "Herky Baby" just in case you cry it
out...
