An actor who was denied entrance to the Oscars last month has sued the Academy for false imprisonment, claiming he and his wife were detained for hours without their consent.
Michael Avila, whose IMDb profile says he appears (under the name Michael AvMen) in the upcoming films “Battle: Los Angeles” and “Straw Dogs,” claims in a lawsuit filed today that he and his wife Mandy were unlawfully imprisoned outside the ceremony after a ticket mix-up.
