Veteran actor and Ugly Betty star Eric Mabius was arrested for battery early Thursday morning. The 53-year-old also faces charges for resisting arrest. Mabius, a Florida resident, was arrested around 2 a.m. and later booked in the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center at 5:45 a.m. on two misdemeanor charges. The actor’s mugshot reveals a black eye and possible swelling, suggesting that Mabius may have gotten into an altercation prior to his arrest. Mabius, who was listed at 5’10” and 220 pounds in a police report documenting the arrest, is well-known for his various television and film roles. He spent four seasons playing Daniel Meade on Ugly Betty. He’s also played characters in The L Word, The OC, Blue Bloods, and Chicago Fire, as well as Hallmark series Signed, Sealed, Delivered. As of Thursday morning, Mabius was still awaiting trial. He was also married to interior designer Ivy Sherman for over a decade, from 2006 to 2018, and shares two sons with his ex: 18-year-old Maxfield and Rylan, 16.
