"Star Wars" star Jake Lloyd arrested




We all remember young Jake Lloyd thanks to his performance in "Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace" back in 1999.

The child actor became popular at age 8 after playing Anakin Skywalker in the George Lucas directed movie.

However his acting career went downhill after that and after several problems with the industry Lloyd left acting altogether several years after.

The former actor was arrested last week in South Carolina for reckless driving, resisting to stop after a high speed chase by the police, and driving without a license.

According to a representative for the Colleton County Sheriff’s Department, he was still in jail as of sunday.

What´s wrong with all these child actors in Hollywood?
