Kevin Sorbo
American Actor
If you ever watched 'Hercules,' you can see that it was made in a comical way for the most part. I remember getting lots of letters from kids around the world saying that the show helped them curb their temper and not look for trouble and just walk away from it because that was the stronger thing to do.
Quote examples
William Golding
English Novelist

Quote examples
Patrick deWitt
Canadian Novelist
