I'm talking about both. You cannot separate the acting from the writing
because the actor has to portray the role he is given. There are distinct
differences between the portrayals. Kevin doesn't display fear when he's
playing Hercules. He displays it when he playing Kull. Kevin doesn't
display doubt when he's playing Hercules. He displays it when he's playing
Dylan Hunt.
There are innumerable differences between Kevin's portrayals but the
easiest way to document them is to point out the differences between the
characters. It's not just a matter of the script saying that Kull runs
away from his enemies or cracks one-liners. Kevin Sorbo has to do the
running, he has to crack the one-liners.
