Antonio Sabato, Jr. was born in Rome, Italy on February 29, 1972. His family (mom - Yvonne, dad Antonio Sr., sister - Simonne, and Antonio) moved to the United States when he was 12, and settled in Southern California. After joining the daytime drama "General Hospital" in the spring of 1992, he was nominated as Hottest Male and Outstanding Newcomer by Soap Opera Digest. Soon, he was highlighted on the cover of TV Guide and included in People Magazines 50 Most Beautiful People issue.
Antonio's latest venture is starting his own production company, NAMTAB Productions. [Batman spelled backwards]. He hopes to produce high quality, cutting edge films and television series that will showcase his considerable talent. In December 2000, he announced the first project from his production company, a one hour drama series titled "WHEEL MAN". "WHEEL MAN" stars Antonio as a motorcycle racer, and will be filmed in various European locations.
Antonio left "General Hospital" at the height of his popularity and signed on to Steven Spielberg's prime-time drama Earth 2. A terrible time slot among other things caused "Earth 2" to be canceled after a one year run.
Not wanting to jump into the commitment of another full-time series, Antonio joined the cast of "Melrose Place" for a six episode run as Amanda's [Heather Locklear] abusive ex-husband. He then appeared in a series of successful tele-films and made several special guest appearances on network TV series.
It was Antonio's performance in FOX TV's "If Looks Could Kill" that caught the attention of Calvin Klein. Antonio signed on as CK's underwear spokesmodel, resulting in the most successful campaign in the designer's history.
His three-year stint with CK completed, Antonio turned his attention to feature films, starring in several independent films and Sony Pictures' "The Big Hit".
Antonio added 'published author' to his impressive list of career successes with his first book "No Excuses: Workout for Life". Released in October 1999, it is quickly working its way up the bestseller list.
Antonio tries not to let his good looks or public adulation obscure his work as an actor. "Being described as a 'heartthrob' really doesn't affect me. It's sometimes part of the job, but my main focus is to get the job done. I focus on doing a good job and let the rest stand for itself."
Antonio has a wide range of interests to keep him busy when he's not on the set. When he's not spending time with his son, Jack Antonio (born August 6, 1994), he enjoys riding his Harley, deep-sea and shark fishing, scuba-diving, cooking, surfing, and is a big fan of Batman and amusement parks, especially roller coasters. He is an experienced horseman, loves music, and is fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English. In addition, he supports several AIDS- related charities. He lives in Los Angeles and became a United States citizen in November 1996.
