Prosecutors say they have charged the father of “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere with misdemeanor battery for an incident in which he allegedly hit his wife.

Alan Panettiere faces up to a year in a Los Angeles County jail if convicted. He was arrested on Aug. 11 on suspicion of striking his wife, Lesley.

At the time, a sheriff’s spokesman said Panettiere was accused of hitting his wife three times with an open hand. The 49-year-old was later released on $50,000 bail after the arrest. His arraignment will be held in October at a Beverly Hills courthouse.

Jail records did not indicate an attorney for Panettiere.

Hayden Panettiere plays Claire Bennett on NBC’s “Heroes”.

Hayden Christensen is set to return to last year’s blockbuster Jumper for a further two movies.

The star is in talks to front two sequels to the sci-fi film and, although the production schedule has yet to be finalized, he is confident he will be reprising his role.

He says, “We’re talking about it. I know that they’re having those conversations, I hear about them. It was set up to become that – a trilogy – if it did well. And I think they’re happy with how it did so they want to make another one. But I don’t think they’re rushing to get into production.”

The second Star Wars trilogy cost Hayden Christensen the chance to work with his acting hero Al Pacino.

The Canadian actor reveals he had to turn down multiple roles during his five-year stint as Anakin Skywalker, but the chance to team up with Pacino was a particularly tough opportunity to dismiss.

He says, “That really bummed me out.”

And Christensen admits he had mixed emotions when his time in movie mogul George Lucas’ world was over.

He adds, “It was definitely bittersweet. I definitely enjoyed the sense of career freedom when they (films) were over.”
