LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say actor Nick Stahl has been arrested for investigation of lewd conduct.

The 33-year-old ‘‘Terminator 3’’ star was arrested about 8 p.m. Thursday on Hollywood Boulevard. He was booked on a misdemeanor count of lewd conduct and released from custody.

The Los Angeles Times reports (http://lat.ms/YU6uBO) that Stahl was arrested at an adult movie shop during a routine undercover police operation.

In May, Stahl had been reported missing by his wife, but he later turned up.

Stahl was a child star who performed in the 1993 film ‘‘The Man Without a Face.’’ He also has appeared in the 2003-2005 HBO series ‘‘Carnivale'’’ and starred in ‘‘Mirrors 2’’ in 2010. An email seeking comment from his publicist was not immediately returned Friday.
