Antonio Sabato Jr. says he’s launching a conservative movie studio
By James Hibberd
Antonio Sabato Jr. wants to start a new Hollywood movie studio geared toward conservative content.
The Melrose Place and The Bold and the Beautiful actor claimed on Twitter that he wants to launch a “conservative movie studio,” that will produce “projects that Hollywood would never do.”
“To all conservative producers who want to make a change this is the time, get in touch with me, and be part of our team,” he wrote. “Blacklisting in Hollywood and around my industry is about to be over forever. We are not going to be bullied by you any longer!”
Sabato Jr. is a vocal supporter of President Trump (“I was the first celebrity to come out and talk about the president, and he had my vote from day one,” the actor has said). But he told Variety in March that he hasn’t gotten any jobs in Hollywood since the 2016 election and blamed the lack of opportunity on his support for Trump. “I had to sell everything,” Sabato Jr. said. “I had to pay all my debts. I was blacklisted. All my representatives left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move, find a new job to survive and take care of my kids … if you’re in that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t like, they’re going to let you know.”
