Actors Charged with Stalking or Harrassment

Allegations and criminal charges against public figures can be difficult to track across jurisdictions and outcomes, but the records do exist and they matter.

You’ll find brief case details for each person (what was charged and where), followed by film and TV highlights with concrete, on-screen facts—characters played, creators involved, and notable cast and crew. Titles are shown in single quotes throughout to keep things clear and consistent.

Alec Baldwin

In New York City, Alec Baldwin was initially charged with misdemeanor assault and second-degree harassment after a dispute over a parking spot; he later pleaded guilty to a second-degree harassment violation and agreed to complete an anger-management program. Prosecutors said surveillance video and witness statements led to the harassment-violation plea, the lowest level of offense under New York law.

On screen, Baldwin played Jack Donaghy in the NBC comedy ’30 Rock’, created by Tina Fey and starring Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, and Jack McBrayer. Earlier, he took over Jack Ryan in ‘The Hunt for Red October’, directed by John McTiernan with Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius, and delivered a memorable monologue cameo in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’, adapted by David Mamet and directed by James Foley.

Shia LaBeouf

During a 2014 disruption at a Broadway performance of ‘Cabaret’ in New York, Shia LaBeouf was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, and harassment; an additional harassment count was later noted by police before the case was resolved with a guilty plea to disorderly conduct and court-ordered treatment.

LaBeouf is widely associated with ‘Transformers’, directed by Michael Bay and co-starring Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, and John Turturro; he later wrote the screenplay for ‘Honey Boy’, directed by Alma Har’el and featuring Lucas Hedges and Noah Jupe, and starred in ‘Fury’, David Ayer’s World War II tank drama alongside Brad Pitt and Logan Lerman.

Jonathan Majors

A Manhattan jury found Jonathan Majors guilty of misdemeanor assault and second-degree harassment in a case involving his then-girlfriend; he was later sentenced to complete a domestic-violence intervention program. In the wake of the verdict, Marvel ended its plans with him.

Majors’ screen breakout included the feature ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’, directed by Joe Talbot and co-starring Jimmie Fails, and the series ‘Loki’, created by Michael Waldron for Disney+ with Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson. He also appeared opposite Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson in ‘Creed III’, which Jordan directed from a story and script developed by Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin.

Michael Rapaport

In New York, Michael Rapaport pleaded guilty to aggravated harassment involving calls and an incident at the residence of actor Lili Taylor; a protection order was issued and counseling was mandated by the court. Contemporaneous reports detail repeated calls over several days and a late-night visit that led to his arrest.

Rapaport’s film and TV work spans ‘True Romance’, directed by Tony Scott from a Quentin Tarantino script and starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, and ‘Higher Learning’, John Singleton’s campus drama with Omar Epps, Ice Cube, and Jennifer Connelly. On television, he played Doug Gardner in the Netflix series ‘Atypical’, created by Robia Rashid and featuring Keir Gilchrist, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Brigette Lundy-Paine.

Peter Robbins

Voice actor Peter Robbins—best known as the original voice of Charlie Brown—was charged in San Diego County with stalking and making criminal threats, and he later pleaded guilty in court to stalking his ex-girlfriend and her plastic surgeon; part of his sentence included time in a treatment program.

Robbins’ most recognized performances are in the Peanuts specials, including ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ and ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’, produced by animator Bill Melendez from Charles M. Schulz’s comic strip, with Vince Guaraldi’s jazz scores becoming signatures of the franchise. He also voiced Charlie Brown in ‘A Boy Named Charlie Brown’, working with Melendez and executive producer Lee Mendelson on the feature adaptation.
