Daytime Emmy-winning producer and actor Andre Salamán Bautista was found guilty Thursday of attempted murder in connection with a stabbing during an argument over the Academy Awards at his Studio City home, officials said.

Bautista, aka Andre Bauth, was also convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with allegations that he used a knife and caused great bodily injury, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.

According to court testimony, Bautista stabbed his tenant in the chest on Sept. 8, 2015, after the victim laughed when Bautista bragged that he would one day win five Academy Awards.

Shortly after the incident, the victim described what happened in an interview with CBS Los Angeles.

“When he said, ‘five Oscars,’ we all kind of laughed a little bit, and he got really upset,” Clayton Haymes, a 23-year-old actor, told the TV station. “I was terrified for my life. I’m just happy to be alive.”

Bautista fled and the Los Angeles Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest.

The DA’s office said he surrendered at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City on Sept. 17 and was brought back to Los Angeles.

Bautista won a Daytime Emmy in 2015 as a producer for the online soap opera “The Bay.”

According to evidence presented in court, he previously wrote and starred in an independent movie about a landlord who killed his tenants.

Bautista is scheduled to be sentenced in Van Nuys on March 22.

He faces up to 13 years in state prison.
