Johnston… previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July 2024.

The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity. He is alleged to have led a group to the “front line of rioters confronting the police who were defending the entrance” to the Capitol, helping to launch an assault against a group of officers.

    You might see who’s making all those movies. Because it’s not Hollywood, other than the Reagan film, which he had a small part in and which also was a box-office bomb.

    He makes right-wing Christian movies because those are the only roles he gets.

    When he was Hercules, he was one of the biggest stars on TV.

    But hey, he has an 8-episode sitcom on Twitter which I’m sure is hilarious and also a big success, like all TV shows on Twitter. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12825094/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_c_2

      I don’t really watch Christian movies.

      The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. “Alone for Christmas”. I can’t really recommend that, either.

        Yeah, nobody does. That’s why citing them as Sorbo “getting a lot of roles” is a fucking joke.

        “Hollywood” in this context refers to the American film industry, not necessarily the location. Major studios, national distribution, etc.

        I surely know that you don’t have to live in California if you’re a movie star and get cast in legitimate movies anymore.

        A large number of them aren’t even shot in California anymore.

            First of all, production companies are literally shooting in Georgia all the time. I have a friend who works in production in Atlanta.

            Secondly, if they wanted Kevin Sorbo in movies, he could live wherever he wanted. He didn’t abandon Hollywood, Hollywood abandoned him. Because he’s a lunatic with an ego the size of Mount Olympus.
