US prosecutors have charged 'American Pie' actor Chris Klein with drunken driving.

Los Angeles city attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said Klein faces two misdemeanour driving under the influence (DUI) charges and will be arraigned on July 9.

Mr Mateljan said Klein faces a minimum of three days in jail and up to a year if convicted because of a prior drunken driving case.

Klein played the character of Chris “Oz” Ostreicher in 1999’s 'American Pie' and in the 2001 sequel. He was also featured in the 1999 film 'Election'.

The California Highway Patrol arrested Klein on June 16 after he was spotted weaving across a road in the San Fernando Valley.
