Gosh! Uncle Rico Off the Hook
This could cut into Uncle Rico's football practice.
Jon Gries, the 49-year-old actor who starred as Napoleon Dynamite's football-flinging, Tupperware-hawking, steak-obsessed tormentor, is not expected to face criminal charges following an alleged road rage incident two weeks in Los Angeles.
Prosecutors said Friday that Gries will take part in a supervised mediation program instead.
"At this time, we're referring the case to a city attorney hearing," said Frank Mateljan, spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. "We'll set up a time for each of the parties to come in and see if we can determine if there was any property damage, then work out restitution in lieu of criminal action. If not, we would then advise the victim what their legal rights and responsibilities are and what they can seek."
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Gries was taken into custody Aug. 4 in Van Nuys and booked on a simple assault charge. He posted $2,000 bail and was released later that day.
No further details have been made public, but TMZ.com quoted officers on the scene as saying that a physical altercation took place, and Gries was the "primary aggressor."
Mateljan said that in the event the two sides can't reach a resolution on restitution, or "new evidence comes to light," the city attorney's office "reserves the right" to still bring criminal charges against Gries. But Mateljan noted that charges are rarely filed in these types of squabbles.
How different his life would've been if he had only won State.
Before earning fame in the 2004 cult hit, Gries' most memorable role was that of Lazlo Hollyfeld, Val Kilmer's weird pal who lived in the closet (literally), in the 1985 teen comedy Real Genius.
Other pre-Napoleon credits include small roles in films like Running Scared, Get Shorty, Men in Black, Twin Falls Idaho, The Rundown and Northfork. He's also guested on such shows as Falcon Crest, The Twilight Zone, Quantum Leap, The X-Files, Seinfeld, ER and HBO's Carnivale.
