My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee was recently thrown out of a New York City nightspot after security broke up a bar brawl between the actor and another reveller.

Lee was partying at downtown Manhattan venue Max Fish when he became embroiled in a heated shoving match with an unnamed patron.

A source tells the New York Post, "The bouncer threw both (guys) out. (He said), 'If you ever want to come back here, walk away now.'"

A spokesperson for Lee did not return request for comment as WENN went to press.
