Sam Jenkins

Known to many as Sam Sorbo, this Pittsburgh-born, Duke-educated performer is easy to file simply as the actress who played Serena on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. But what intrigues me is her range beyond the screen: she writes, directs, and hosts a syndicated radio show. I find people who move fluidly between performing, authoring, and creating tend to have a sturdier core than their resumes suggest. The data here is sparse, yet that very versatility tells me more than any single credit could. To me she reads as someone whose curiosity refuses to sit still, and that quality always earns my interest.
