Home and Away star Todd Lasance has been charged with possessing cocaine.

The 24-year-old actor, who recently announced he was quitting Seven's long-running soapie, was arrested in Sydney's Kings Cross at the weekend.

Lasance won this year's Silver Logie for most popular actor.

He plays Aden Jefferies on the show, but will finish on January 15 to try his luck in Hollywood.

"Failure is not an option," he said.

"I'm willing to put in 20 years over there if I have to because this is what I want to do."
