Sportacus Sportacus 10 (“Sportacus” to his friends) is LazyTown’s resident action-health hero, a flesh and blood human with amazing physical strength and incredible agility. This extraordinary guy exemplifies the benefits of exercising, practicing, and refusing to take the easy way out. But mostly he’s someone who has fun! Physicality and acrobatic stunts are woven into the fabric of Sportacus’s daily life, from walking on his hands when he goes to the store to jumping over plants to water them.   From high in the sky in his airship (a fantastical flying base filled with man-powered contraptions), Sportacus trolls the skies of LazyTown scanning for trouble. Well, trouble and fun.

In addition to being an advocate of an active and healthy lifestyle Sportacus is an actual hero, a rescuer of small animals and helper of children. But he’s not a professor. Sportacus doesn’t lecture, he demonstrates the advantages of his lifestyle with a childlike glee. He inspires and leaves the choice to you.

Like all of us, though, Sportacus isn’t perfect. He’s tempted by all of the alluring vices that LazyTown offers. And because his body is accustomed to an extra-healthy lifestyle, when he gives in to temptation and does something unhealthy, the effects are many times more negative than those experienced by normal people!

His dramatic battles with temptation are extended comedic struggles. Each tempting event is an overly dramatic, tense inner war as Sportacus almost succumbs multiple times until, finally, his resolve bursts forth and he bellows a heartfelt, “Not for MEEEEE!” Kids will relate to Sportacus’s struggle with unhealthiness and cheer his ability to triumph over it.

No matter how serious his job as defender of the helpless and advocate of the healthy, Sportacus can’t hide his childlike sense of fun. Because of his ebullient nature, he often giddily enjoys an activity with the LazyTown kids so much that he forgets the pressing business at hand. That’s when he has to be reminded by the kids of his heroic duty.

Sometimes Sportacus goes over to one ofthe kids’ houses to hang out, but he has to be on guard against junk food, TV, and the other fun but enervating treats that surround him whenever he leaves his airship. Once he realizes he’s in the grip of temptation, will Sportacus find the strength to shake it off? Well, yes. But it won’t be easy!

Obviously, the other adults in LazyTown think Sportacus is a little, well, different. But Sportacus’ best friends – the kids of LazyTown – think he’s incredibly cool. LazyTown™ Entertainment
