Movie-Heracles Rankings. Choosing the actor who was best suited for this role

As calculated by fans of the actor, Sorbo in the image of Hercules more than other performers spent shooting time on the set. The series “The Amazing Wanderings of Hercules” went on screens for more than four years in a row – from 1995 to 1999.

The work was very successful for him and gave millions of viewers love. Sorbo was recognized as one of the best actors who played Hercules. After the series, the actor was also involved in feature films about the ancient strongman.

The movie “Hercules in New York” became for the athlete the first in his cinematic career. The picture was not a great success, and many noted the unprofessionalism of 22-year-old Arnie, who played an ancient hero. But the unsuccessful role only hardened the bodybuilder.

After a sports career, he decided to devote himself to filmmaking. Charisma and optimism conquered the audience. Arnold Schwarzenegger became a favorite of the public and an excellent actor.

It would be a big mistake not to involve an actor with such athletic data as Dwayne “The Rock” Jones in a movie about an ancient warrior. The director as if especially for him prescribed a role in the 2014 action movie “Hercules”. The strength and power of Duane organically fit into the image of the hero, and the picture was recognized by the audience.

In the movie Reeves got from the big sport – bodybuilding, becoming an inspiration and idol in the future for other star athletes, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone. In the 1957 movie The Feats of Hercules, the actor reincarnated as an ancient hero with relief muscles and a bold, proud look. The picture was a resounding success, and the popularity of bodybuilding overwhelmed the world after the release of the movie.

The movie “Hercules” in 1983 was not the first in the biography of the actor, where he played the role of a strong and fearless hero. Before him Ferrigno starred in five seasons of the television series about the green mutant Hulk. But the proposal to change the role of the actor took with enthusiasm.

The movie did not receive proper recognition. Critics called it an unsuccessful version of ancient myths. The picture was even nominated for four awards “Golden Raspberry”, including for the worst lead role. Nevertheless, the audience liked the work, and they willingly went to watch the tape in theaters. And the producers collected a decent box office from the movie.

Another professional athlete who was able to make his way into the movie industry in the middle of the last century. Reg Park set his athletic path from a young age and trained hard from the age of 16. In 1949, he won the title of “Mr. Britain”.

Beautiful data of the bodybuilder was noticed by filmmakers and invited him to star in peplums (a genre of historical movies based on ancient, biblical stories): “The exploits of Hercules: Hercules in the realm of shadows” (1961), “Hercules conquers Atlantis” (1961), “Hercules in the spears of King Solomon” (1964), “The Challenge of the Giants” (1965).

Another unsuccessful, according to viewers and critics, a picture that tells about the exploits of the Greek hero. Fantasy action movie of 2014 “Hercules: the beginning of the legend” did not come to the taste of the electoral audience. Another picture was nominated for the “Golden Raspberry” for the worst leading role.

But, no matter how scolded the tape for a simple plot, beauty and charisma sports Kellan Latsa impossible not to note. The actor organically fit into the image of Hercules and attracted attention with his athletic figure.

Now we know the actor quite different roles in the movie. And once a rising Canadian star Gosling starred in a series about a mythological character. The authors of the project decided to complement the story of the hero, started by Kevin Sorbo, and shot a picture about the young years of the strongman – “The Youth of Hercules”.

The series was released in 1998, but did not have great popularity and recognition. A year later it was closed, but Gosling was able to like the audience and gain acting experience.
