Reason #5 to attend Mountain-Con 4

Last week, I said there would be a major guest announcement. In fact, I said this:

Next week's "Reason" will be an announcement "worthy of the gods". Don't miss it, or we'll hunt you down!

So...here it is.

 

Reason #5 to attend Mountain-Con:
Kevin Sorbo

Kevin will be our major headliner at Mountain-Con this year.

Don't know what Kevin has done? Then you must not have watched much of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" or "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda".

In addition to playing the title characters of these two shows (Hercules and Captain Dylan Hunt, respectively) Kevin has played several other interesting characters, including the title character in "Kull, the Conqueror" and a preacher-turned-bounty hunter in the recent Western "Avenging Angel", the third-highest rated TV movie in The Hallmark Channel's history. He has also guest starred on several shows including "Just Shoot Me", "Two and a Half Men", "Psych", and "Dharma and Greg".

Kevin Sorbo is also a spokesman for "A World fit for Kids", a non-profit organization that provides gang, drug, and dropout prevention to teens through mentoring programs. Kevin was also named as the spokesman for "The Afterschool Alliance", succeeding Arnold Schwarzenegger. "The Afterschool Alliance" helps to ensure that all children have access to safe, enriching afterschool programs by the year 2010.
