ANTONIO SABATO JR.
Winning over the hearts of fans in his role as Jagger Cates on daytime’s “General Hospital”, Sabato Jr. began his career modelling for Calvin Klein as an underwear model. Following his General Hospital role, Sabato Jr made an even greater rise in popularity with his role as Jack Perezi on “Melrose Place”. His acting career continued to a lower degree, mostly on soap operas but that doesn’t take away from his acting success in the 2000s. Sabato Jr even ran for U.S Congress as the Republican candidate in the 2018 elections, albeit unsuccessfully. Some rise from underwear modelling to potential politician!
