英语文摘:"American Pie" star Chris Klein arrested for drunk driving

LOS ANGELES, June 16 (Xinhua) -- Actor Chris Klein was arrested early Wednesday in Los Angeles on suspicion of drunken driving, the Los Angeles Times reported on its website.

Klein, 31, best known for his role in the "American Pie" comedies, was taken into custody about 3:15 a.m. local time, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Patrick Kimball.

The actor was booked at the Los Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys station for driving under the influence of alcohol and released without bail. This was the actor's second arrest in the past six years on the same charge, TMZ.com reported.

Klein won acclaim for his role in 1999's "Election" and later played the character Oz in the "American Pie" comedies. He's also known as former boyfriend of actress Katie Holmes, who married actor Tom Cruise in 2006.
