    Antonio Sabato Jr. recently announced that he's starting a new business endeavor.

    The 48-year-old actor revealed on Thursday on Twitter that he's developing a "conservative movie studio for all patriots" and plans on taking on projects that other Hollywood studios "would never" do.

    "We are putting together a plan to create a conservative movie studio for all patriots to do projects that Hollywood would never do. No more blacklisting and no more injustice from the socialist's elites," he wrote.

    I think its a good idea. It's certainly no secret how biased the current studio are. The only way to counter that is start up studios of their own. I think we'll see more of this happening...social media is likely next.

    LOL. Isn't there a production company called "Propaganda Films"? Just borrow the for Propaganda Studios. We all know that is what will be produced by this "studio".

    So...wait...he's saying he's blacklisted and had to move to Florida and start a new job after coming out in support of Donald Trump...which he did during the election in 2016.

    But...if you go to his IMDB page, he's still working as an actor and has been on multiple projects the last 4 years.
    https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004645/

    I mean, dude has been a guy that's found bit parts his whole career and is now pushing his upper 40's. I imagine moving to Florida, and away from Hollywood, probably had more to do with him getting less parts on TV shows and movies than any blacklisting...especially since he's still been working.

    I mean, good luck to him, but why the dishonesty?

    That's great and I wish him luck. There are already a number of Christian studios and I bet the majority of them are conservative. Maybe this one is more focused on 'patriotic' conservatism than Christian conservatism. I don't think we'll ever hear from him again unless he can line up some really significant capital somehow. The Christian studios can't make it to mainstream even with so many Americans calling themselves Christians, so I don't see a path to success for a Trumpy studio. But I don't have any problem with the idea.

    Use that excuse too much, don't blame me when I accidentally don't take your sincere posts seriously.

    Because Atlas Shrugged did so well....

    Also it's not true that conservative film and music do not already exist and do quite well in their own market. There are Christian acts like DC Talk, Newsboys, etc. who have had very fruitful careers in music. Films like God's Not Dead made a ton of money on a relatively small budget.

    However when you are just focused on Right Wing Politics.... like the politics of callousness, pro-corporation, etc., and not just religion, those movies and music just are well.... not socially acceptable. See Atlas Shrugged as previously mentioned.

    There are right wing pro-military films though galore in Hollywood.

    So if you want to open a film, TV, and music production organization that focuses on the political agenda of the right, the only things out there you can produce that people will want to watch and listen to will be War Movies, and Christian movies & music.... which we already have....

    Antonio Sabato Jr. is an idiot whose career is like 20 years past his prime looking for relevance.

    Antonio Sabato Jr can't act and now at 48 his looks can't carry him anymore. And he was never an A-lister movie star like John Wayne or Robert Duvall. So the politics might get in the way: "We need a middle aged dude, kinda Latino looking, good looks." "Antonio Sabato's available." "PSHAW! I'll bet! That Trumper? And he'll still be available after this conversation. Who else you got?"

    Right. It's not as if Stallone ever gave Sabato a call: "Hey, you can come work with me."
