   LOS ANGELES  — Actor/comedian T.J. Miller, star of Silicon   
   Valley and the just-opened Office Christmas Party, was arrested   
   early Friday after a car-service driver accused him of battery,   
   Los Angeles police say.   
      
   Miller's arrest came two days before he will host the Critics'   
   Choice Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday.   
      
   Officer Drake Madison says Miller was arrested around 1 a.m.   
   Friday. The accusing driver wanted Miller booked under a   
   citizen's arrest.   
      
   Madison did not have additional details about what led to the   
   dispute between the driver and Miller.   
      
   TMZ reported that Miller and the driver got into an argument   
   about President-elect Donald Trump, and Miller allegedly slapped   
   the driver in the head when they arrived at Miller's home.   
      
   Miller was no fan of Trump, calling him a "madman" and "lunatic"   
   on Twitter in July.   
      
   Madison says Miller was released on his own recognizance and was   
   ordered to appear in court on Jan. 9.   
      
   Joey Berlin, president of the organization that bestows the   
   Critics' Choice Awards, says Miller will remain the host for   
   Sunday's show.   
      
   "We look forward to seeing what he's going to do on Sunday,"   
   Berlin said.   
      
   A call to Miller's manager was not immediately returned.   
      
   Miller is best known for his role as Erlich Bachman in the   
   quirky Silicon Valley, in which he plays the owner of a home   
   that serves as headquarters for a fledgling start-up.   
      
   He's also in the comedy Office Christmas Party, which opened   
   Friday. He co-stars with Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn and Kate   
   McKinnon as fun-loving employees who throw a debaucherous, R-   
   rated holiday party to save their tech company.   
      
   T.J. Miller, who stars in the holiday film 'Office Christmas   
   Party' offers his wisdom on how to throw an unforgettable   
   Christmas party at your office. Video shot by Todd Plitt. USA

   In an interview with USA TODAY for the movie, Miller said it's   
   been fun promoting a comedy "during the apocalypse," meaning   
   just before Trump takes office as the next president of the   
   United States.   
      
   "Family is not for arguing and fighting this year," he said in   
   the interview. "It's for getting together and remembering what's   
   great about America, which is film and laughter. We've always   
   had the best sense of humor in the world — you hear that,   
   England?"
