Kevin Sorbo Plays Rev. Shepherd

In Three Times A Lady, Sorbo, who was raised in a Lutheran family, plays Rev. Shepherd, a sincere man of God, who becomes the voice of reason after hearing rumors about a member of his congregation. Movie promos add, "With comedic timing, great lines and heavenly observation, his mission is to restore the truth." 

“I like that a new twist is taken on a standard romantic comedy making the focus of this movie more circumstances," says Sorbo.  "The humor in this film is universal. It gets you to laugh at  the foibles of finding love later in life. I'm excited to be part of the cast!"
