However, when a sudden health crisis left him partially blind and incapacitated, the direction of his life changed forever. He hid the full details of his health problems from the press as he continued to film Hercules, his health continued to decline. In his inspiring memoir, True Strength, Sorbo shares the story of the crisis that ultimately redefined his measure of success.
