Antonio Sabato Jr says he's been blacklisted in Hollywood [View all]

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/antonio-sabato-jr-blacklisted-for-supporting-donald-trump-republican-1201829791/

"I’ve had fantastic directors who have said officially to my agents and managers they will never hire me again."

I guess he's learned bald face lying from Trump. You can't get blacklisted if you're already a has been. He's been lucky to get parts in single tv episodes and TV/direct to video movies for the last 10 years. He had a part in the 3 Stooges movie. He was "Handsome Man #1".

"My work and my life is based on God. My leader, the one I look up to, is Jesus Christ. I’ve seen people in the industry say, “I’m not going to talk to this guy, because he talks about Jesus Christ.”

This coming from a guy who's fathered 3 children by 3 different women, all out of wedlock.
