Michael Brea, an 31-year-old Haitian American actor who has had bit parts on 'Ugly Betty' and 'Step-Up 3-D' and was the face of the Coca-Cola: Full Throttle campaign held his mother hostage and then murdered her with a samurai sword while screaming Bible passages early today in Brooklyn.

Neighbors reportedly heard screams coming from his mother's apartment at 1:30 AM. One neighbor heard Michael yelling things like, 'Repent, repent, repent.'

When the police arrived they found an 'extremely bloody' scene and that Brea was combative and mentally disturbed. An officer needed to taser him in order to get him under control. He was taken to Kings County Hospital and assigned a guard.

PIX 11 News is reporting that a source close to the investigation said that Brea used a samurai sword to kill his mother, who was decapitated, stabbed multiple times and was left badly hacked.

On the film site BelFilm.com Michael is quoted from a July, 2009 interview as saying, 'I remember growing up and my mother was always feeding people who were less fortunate. My parents [Marcel and Yannick] raised me to always share and to give charity in the name of God!'

Charges are pending investigation.
