Is it his dimples? His chest? His commitment to remove clothes for any role? Ever since Antonio Sabato Jr.’s Calvin Klein campaign back in the ‘90s, the Italian-born hotpiece has been a lust object for quite some time. Playing into his best attributes (body, ass, dong), he’s created a long career of getting naked–or near naked–in Soap Opera gigs, TV movies-of-the-week and reality shows. He may not be the greatest actor, but if there’s one thing he’s good, it’s showing the goods. I believe this is called the Denise Richards method of acting.

Tonight at 10 is the premiere of Antonio’s latest gift of gratuitous shirtlessness, My Antonio–VH1’s reality series that follows the hottie on the beaches of Hawaii as the 37-year-old searches for love among 13 beautiful women in their early 20s looking to add a credit to their IMDB profiles:

So let’s take a look back at some of the best moments in Antonio Sabato, Jr. history:

His high-profile Calvin Klein modeling campaign featured billboards like this:

And commercials like this:

Just look at those dimples! It’s like a hole carved perfectly for a peen.

Or this hole, from shlock flick Wasabi Tuna:

The man knows his way up and down a pole. The Celebrity Circus winner is agile as he his beautiful:

He kept his shirt and pants on for once, but still managed to steal the show in Janet Jackson’s music video Love Will Never Do Without You:

I think I will tune in for his series, if not for the possibility of seeing him in slow motion beach scenes, but just look at his mother. She is FIERCE! She looks like the type to smoke cigarettes out of a 10-inch long cigarette holder and wears elbow-length black satin gloves. And drinks Chardonnay all day long, poolside! We could be friends:
