As a nerdy kid with longish hair and few male role models, I really, really looked up to this guy. Hercules, Xena, Kull, and then Andromeda.

He fell off my radar for a while but I was pleasantly entertained when I found him in the Mythica series. I'd always thought well of him.

Eventually I heard about God Is Not Dead and looked into the rest of his more right wing work... Its really heartbreaking when people you respected or even idolized as a kid turn out to be so... gross and just... weird.

Now he again pops up on my radar with stupid shit like this. So sad.

It really is. Guy had the opportunity to be great, but got sick. Like losing an aging parent to Fox.
