During the last two seasons of ''Hercules'' (the fifth and sixth, which aired in 1998 and 1999), Sorbo had a reduced filming schedule to accommodate his condition, and more guest stars were featured in the show in order to reduce Sorbo's duties.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Hammel |first=Sara |url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20533357,00.html |title=Hercules Star Kevin Sorbo Reveals He's Had Several Strokes |magazine=[[People (magazine)|People]] |date=October 2, 2011 |access-date=October 18, 2012 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304051913/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20533357,00.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> In his 2011 autobiography ''True Strength'', Sorbo revealed the details of his injury and how his wife Sam helped him recover.<ref>{{cite web |first=Kevin |last=Sorbo |url=https://www.amazon.com/True-Strength-Journey-Hercules-Mortal/dp/B008PH08NO/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1375519514&sr=8-1 |title=True Strength: My Journey from Hercules to Mere Mortal--and How Nearly Dying Saved My Life |publisher=Da Capo Press |location=Boston, Massachusetts |date=October 11, 2011 |access-date=August 3, 2013 |archive-date=December 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213181811/https://www.amazon.com/True-Strength-Journey-Hercules-Mortal/dp/B008PH08NO |url-status=live }}</ref>
