‘Ugly Betty’ Star Eric Mabius
Arrested For Battery
Published
Eric Mabius — a veteran television actor — has been arrested in Florida for battery … TMZ has learned.
The star was arrested Thursday morning and booked into the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center just before 6 AM.
He was booked on two charges … battery and resisting an officer without violence. They are both misdemeanor charges. He’s not smiling in his mug shot — and, it appears he may have a cut by his right eye.
Mabius rose to fame in the mid to late 1990s … appearing on shows like “Chicago Hope,” “Party of Five” and “Get Real.” He had a recurring role as Tim Haspel on “The L Word.”
Eric’s big break came on “Ugly Betty,” where he played Daniel Meade — editor of “Mode,” the prestigious fashion magazine America Ferrera‘s Betty works at — in 85 episodes of the show.
His other credits include … “The O.C.,” “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” “Blue Bloods,” “Franklin & Bash,” “Chicago Fire,” “Outcasts” and more.
We’ve reached out to cops and Mabius’ team … so far, no word back.
