Filed under 'Kevin Sorbo'

We loved him in his legendary role as Hercules and then as Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda. If you thought Kevin Sorbo has been taking it easy since those two smash hits, think again! He stars in the Hallmark movie, The Santa Suit, currently airing on the Hallmark Channel, guest stars in an upcoming episode of Hawaii Five-O, co-stars with Dennis Quaid, Linda Hunt, and Carrie Underwood in Soul Surfer which hits theaters in April, and has two other theatrical releases on he horizon! Not to mention What If, coming to theaters next summer and Julia X which is set to be released later in 2011.

The busy father-of-three young kids - Braeden, 9, Shane, 6, and Octavia, 5 - recently sat down with Celebrity Baby Scoop to talk about the difference between raising boys vs. girls, how his wife Sam Jenkins is the "brains of the family," and the "pathetic" state of our education system: "Our public education ranks 57th in the world."

Kevin Sorbo enjoyed a snorkeling trip along with his two sons, Braedon Cooper, 8, and Shane Haaken, 5, on a beach in Hawaii on Wednesday (February 10).

The 51-year-old actor, best known for his title role on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, is currently vacationing in the Pacific Islands with his family.

The boys’ mother is Kevin’s wife, model/actress Sam Jenkins, 43, who starred alongside her husband as Serena in the Hercules series.

The couple are also parents to 4-year-old Octavia Flynn.

Kevin Sorbo, wife Sam, and their children Braedon, 6, Shane, 4, and Octavia, 2, are pictured at the A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival, to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation at the Wadsworth Theater in Los Angeles, CA on June 8.
