Fear The Walking Dead star Frank Dillane 'arrested for battery after fight with studio security guard'

Fear The Walking Dead actor Frank Dillane has been arrested following an alleged fight with a TV studio security guard.

The English star, who plays troubled teenager Nick Clark in the zombie spin-off, ended up in a tussle with a guard at the CBS studios in Los Angeles on Sunday night, according to TMZ.

The site claims the 25-year-old tried to walk through the security checkpoint in Studio City without showing his credentials.

Guards attempted to stop him, with one of the employees telling TMZ his behaviour was 'erratic'.

His presence at CBS was said to be surprising as AMC show Fear The Walking Dead doesn't actually film at CBS.

The London-raised actor alleged struck one of the guards, who detained him with a citizen's arrest before calling the LAPD, who booked him for battery.

MailOnline has contacted Dillane's representative for comment.

Frank, the son of Game Of Thrones actor Stephen Dillane, started his acting career as a child alongside his father with a role in 1997 film Welcome To Sarajevo.

He enrolled at prestigious London drama school RADA and graduated in 2013. 

One of his biggest roles saw him play Tom Riddle, the boy who grew up to become villain Voldemort, in Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince in 2009.

Last year, he was cast as drug addict Nick in the Walking Dead spin-off as a dysfunctional family struggling to survive during the zombie apocalypse.

He told the Radio Times last month: 'Nick is, essentially, at the start of the show, already living in his own apocalypse. When you are already living on the outskirts of society in anyway, when society falls, you are the closest to understanding how to cope.'
