A man who allegedly stalked “NYPD Blue” actress Andrea Thompson--making threatening phone calls and slashing the tires of her car--was being held Tuesday in lieu of $150,000 bail, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.

Assennato Gianluigi, 34, of West Los Angeles, was arrested Monday afternoon and booked on suspicion of “felony stalking,” Los Angeles Police Lt. Anthony Alba said.

Thompson, 38, of Beverly Hills, appeared on the TV series “Falcon Crest,” “Babylon 5” and “JAG” before landing the role of Det. Jill Kirkendall on ABC’s “NYPD Blue.”
