Blacklisting is wrong no matter who does it, .....
what's the evidence that he was blacklisted? his claim that he couldn't get any roles since trump took office is contradicted by the fact that he has over 10 credits on IMDB since trump took office.
in my opinion, sabato was a mediocre actor, but a very beautiful young man. his decline in acting work might be attributed to him getting older, less attractive, and not his politics.
Certainly hollyweirdo's have no love for President Trump and his supporters, but he can't blame it all on that. He still did work the past few years in TV and it's not like he is huge like he was decades ago.
I also can't feel sorry for him that he has to wake up early and work in construction, and that his net worth is around $8 million.
Cry me a freakin river. This guy should try having mental issues like PTSD and having a differently wired brain with no marketable talent. I don't aspire to be famous (although I would like to be an actress..just not a famous one) and having a lot of wealth isn't everything but it certainly beats making not quite 12 dollars an hour.
Not to mention you're telling me that he still has roles after that? So what's the problem? He needs 200 million dollars more?

So what? It's not like he can't keep quiet. He made a choice to express it.
Direct-to-video films and one-episode appearances in a slew of shows is exactly the sort of career that fizzles when you hit the late 40s and producers can now find more attractive eye candy for less money. Tough luck, but you should have known that when you signed up.
And you can ask Colin Kaepernick about the risks involved in taking a controversial political stance when your job is on the line.
I think his career was ending before he backed Trump but the reality is if you support a vile conservative candidate in a liberal industry then expect blowback. Its just like when Borat went to a rodeo and trolled them with anti-American rhetoric. Know your crowd (or in this case industry).
Trumps not conservative. The only thing that is vile is the hypocritical dishonesty from the left. Not the right is much good either.
Dude could not act his way out of a paper bag when he played Jagger on "General Hospital" in the early 90s. If he was blacklisted, and his IMDB contradicts this, it was because he's getting older and not getting better.
The only thing I particularly remember him from is the reality show where he was 'the bachelor', and all these woman were to compete to win his love.
I remember hearing about that and thinking, "Well, if you're a celebrity on a reality show to find a date, then you're obviously not an A-list celebrity."
