: what is it with wanky actors?
Oh dear, actors make the best wank. Kevin Sorbo talks about Lucy Lawless (who played Xena) and Robert Tapert (writer of said show) and husband of Lucy.
And he's not bitter at all, noooo.
Sorbo played Hercules, and was the star and later the creative person whoscrewed up took creative control over Andromeda .
“She started having an affair with him down in New Zealand. She left her husband and he left his wife of 15 years. So that’s how that whole thing got together.” “I busted my ass on Hercules and during Season Five, I almost died doing it,” he continues. “I had an aneurism that exploded in my body that almost killed me. I think I’m a good enough actor that he can put me in a secondary part in one of his feature films. It would be nice if he did that.”
Later:
I have friends that I’ve held over from that show forever and I have nothing but great memories of working in New Zealand. we will conveniently forget the furor he caused in the NZ press when he said that he found the country dull and implied it a little backward
Acting, such a lovely profession.
ETA: And if anyone is interested in the reaction in LJ-Land, the article was posted on the Xenites community here. Predictably fans aren't impressed.
