AceShowbiz - Frank Dillane of "Fear the Walking Dead" was arrested for battery over the weekend following a scuffle in Los Angeles. TMZ reported that the British actor got involved in an altercation with security guards at CBS Studios on Sunday, May 22.
Sources told the site that Dillane tried get through a security checkpoint when he visited the TV studio at the time. When security guards tried to stop him, he allegedly struck one of them and was later detained with a citizen's arrest. He's eventually booked for battery once the LAPD arrived at the scene.
It's still unclear why Dillane was at the CBS lot, since his show doesn't shoot there. One of the guards said that the 25-year-old's behavior was "erratic" before he was arrested.
Dillane, the son of "Game of Thrones" alum Stephen Dillane, plays recovering drug addict Nick Clark on "Fear the Walking Dead" that airs on AMC. His credits include "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", in which he played the young Tom Riddle, and "In the Heart of the Sea".
