Son of Antonio Sabàto Jr. and Virginia Madsen arrested in connection with fatal hit-and-run in Alaska

The son of Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen and soap opera star Antonio Sabàto Jr. has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Alaska, police said Tuesday.

Jack Antonio Sabàto, 32, was booked into the Anchorage Correctional Complex on suspicion of leaving the scene of a fatal accident and failing to render aid, according to prison records.

The crash occurred shortly before 5:48 a.m. local time Monday when officers and medics came to the aid of an “unresponsive adult male” at the intersection of Airport Heights Drive and Debarr Road, according to a statement from Anchorage police.

Carl Simmonds, a 42-year-old pedestrian, “was struck by a vehicle, which then fled,” police added. Simmonds was pronounced dead at the scene.

Later that day, police identified the younger Sabàto as the driver believed to be behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Tahoe, officials said.

On screen, the elder Sabàto, 54, is best known for his work on “General Hospital” from 1992 to 1995 and “Melrose Place” in 1995.

In recent years, he has become a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump — a political stance that the actor says has hurt his career in Hollywood.

He addressed the Republican National Convention in 2016 on the same night as fellow Hollywood conservative Scott Baio.

“He (Trump) is the only choice, there is no one else,” Sabàto told MSNBC from the congress hall. “I think Trump should win now and we can just move forward and get our country back on track.”

The actor ran for Congress in 2018, losing in a safe Democratic district.

Madsen is best known for her work in the 2004 film “Sideways,” which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
