Actor Fred Willard 78, Arrested for Showing His Junk

Actor Fred Willard was arrested last night of lewd conduct after exposing himself at an adult movie theatre.

The 78-year-old actor was taken into custody after being caught with his pants down and genitals exposed at Hollywood's Tiki Theatre at around 8.45pm local time.

Willard - who has been married to wife Mary for 40 years - was later cited and a mug shot was taken, police told RadarOnline, adding that he was co-operative with authorities.

He was released from custody and is set to appear in court at a later date, the website reports.

According to TMZ, LAPD officers were conducting a 'random walk-through' of the premises - not a raid - as part of a routine inspection.

The three films currently showing at the cinema are Follow Me 2, a X-rated parody of The Client List and Step Dad No. 2.

Willard is know for his roles in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Anchorman and Everybody Loves Raymond.

In 2010 he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series after making appearances in ABC's Modern Family.

He played the part of Frank Dunphy, Phil Dunphy's father.

And according to IMDB, Willard is rumoured to be in pre-production for a movie called The Yank.
