Josh Brolin made his first public appearance since his July 12 arrest on Tuesday.
Sans wife Diane Lane, he walked the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Frozen River with his son, Trevor, and daughter, Eden.
He declined to talk to press.
“[I’m] sorry. I’m kind of in a bad predicament right now,” he told reporters before walking off.
Police arrested Brolin, 40 — who is currently shooting the George Bush biopic W — and his co-star Jeffrey Wright, along with four crew members, after they impeded police officers who attempted to break up a bar brawl in Shreveport, Louisiana, July 12. (They were each charged with one misdemeanor count of interfering with police.)

According to local reports, a taser was used on Wright, 42, and both he and Brolin were hit with pepper spray when they wouldn't quit holding onto each other.
Video footage from a cell phone allegedly exists of the incident, but a police spokesperson denies it.
The Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover has also dismissed any unfounded rumors.
After watching and listening to six to seven hours of police dashboard cameras and uniform microphones, the Mayor said police "conducted themselves in a manner that is, without question, beyond reproach," according to The Shreveport Times.
Meanwhile, TMZ.com posted a bizarre video of Brolin giving Robin Wright Penn a very friendly hug and kiss outside a Santa Monica bar (Sean Penn is also seen pushing Brolin in the footage).
But a pal tells New York's Daily News that the tape merely shows "close friends being playful with each other."
