Torn was given probation last year in a Connecticut drunken driving case and allowed to enter an alcohol-education program. A Connecticut judge dismissed the drunken driving charge against him earlier this year based on his successful completion of that program.
He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.
The actor, whose real name is Elmore Rual Torn, has appeared on the television show “30 Rock” and won an Emmy in 1996 for his work on “The Larry Sanders Show.” Along with “Men in Black,” his recent movie credits include “The Insider” and “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.”
