Prosecutors have filed new charges against 40-Year-Old Virgin actor Shelly Malil, who is accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend 20 times on August 10 in San Marcos, Calif. 

During a Superior Court hearing Friday, the 43-year-old actor was charged with residential burglary and assault with a deadly weapon for also allegedly attacking another man who was present during the incident. 

Prosecutors say Malil stabbed his ex, Kendra Beebe, 35, at her home while her two children slept. A man with Beebe at the time grabbed one knife but Malil found another and continued the attack until a neighbor disarmed him. Beebe is expected to recover from the deep wounds to her lungs and throat. 

A judge also reduced Malil's bail on Friday from $10 million to $3 million, after his attorney argued he wasn't a flight risk.  

Malil, who played Steve Carell's co-worker Haziz in Virgin, has been jailed since Aug. 11. He faces life in prison if convicted.
