As one of the elite High Guard of the democratic federation of planets known as the Systems Commonwealth, Captain Dylan Hunt (Kevin Sorbo) and his starship Andromeda Ascendant are responsible for protecting the planets and inhabitants of three galaxies. During the first battle in the violent Nietzschean uprising, Hunt was forced to evacuate his crew—but he and the ship were later caught in the event horizon of a black hole, which left him frozen in time. Some 300 years later, the Andromeda and Hunt were recovered by a salvage ship, and Hunt convinced its crew to join him on a mission to restore the Commonwealth.

Along with his part as the title character in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Kevin Sorbo's role as Dylan Hunt in Andromeda remains one of his most memorable. After the series ended, Sorbo has continued a prolific acting career that includes appearances in The O.C., Meet the Spartans, and many others. Additionally, Sorbo has lent his voice to several video game characters in titles like Skylanders: SuperChargers, Smite, Cloudberry Kingdom, and by reprising his role as Hercules in the God of War game franchise. Most recently, you can spot Sorbo in several recurring appearances as Lar Gand in the superhero TV series Supergirl.
