Actor Kevin Sorbo, whom you may know as Captain Dylan Hunt from the space opera Andromeda, caused quite a scene on Twitter following a scene at a Starbucks in Southern California.
As California has reinstated indoor mask mandates to curb the spread of the ever-growing delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, Sorbo decided to grandstand about his refusal to don one when an employee asked him to put on a mask.
It went as well as you'd expect.

Sorbo has an extremely inflammatory Twitter account, often posting racist rhetoric and pro-Trump propaganda, alongside anti-science conspiracy theories.
While this is not a surprising development from him, Twitter found it all the more repulsive.
“…not proud…” yet inexplicably tweeting about it is a weird flex but ok, whoever you are. https://t.co/zEWUJrCHM2— Robin Tressler White (@Robin Tressler White) 1626921489.0

I am sure the baristas were relieved to not have to serve that insufferable windbag. https://t.co/77GYtSRTXc— Erica/TC Underground (@Erica/TC Underground) 1626918866.0
Sorbo is also a proponent of the conspiracy theory that the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol was perpetrated by "antifa" rather than supporters of former President Donald Trump.
First time you’ve made a scene in your life? I’m glad you also acknowledge that your acting is trash. https://t.co/Tft1HVcN4y— Natalie (@Natalie) 1626915419.0

Wow his stupidity is reaching new levels. Why would anyone tweet something like this? https://t.co/BEZmbbzq9r— Laurel J. (@Laurel J.) 1626909607.0
A couple baristas did something no one else has done in years: Saw Kevin Sorbo act. https://t.co/dAo871L7or— The Hoarse Whisperer (@The Hoarse Whisperer) 1626918202.0
Sorbo's Twitter continues to fill up with inflammatory Tweets and doesn't show any signs of stopping.
Hopefully future Starbucks employees will be spared his childish antics.
