73-year-old Oscar-nominated actor James Cromwell was arrested this morning at the University of Wisconsin -- after bursting into a board meeting ... claiming the school tortures cats in the name of science.

Cromwell was arrested with PETA spokesman Jeremy Beckham, who accompanied Cromwell on the protest ambush.

According to a UW spokesperson, Cromwell and Beckham burst into a UW System Board of Regents meeting, shouting and holding signs showing a cat with metal implanted in its head at a UW-Madison lab.

PETA has claimed 30 cats a year at UW-Madison are starved, deafened, and decapitated for brain research that hasn't accomplished its goals of improving human hearing. The university denies the accusations.

Cromwell reportedly shouted, "This is not science. This is cruel!" Beckham then went limp and dropped to the floor in front of the regents.

he UW spokesperson said the regents appeared taken aback by the sudden distraction, but no one responded to Cromwell or Beckham.

University police showed up shortly after and dragged Beckham out of the room. Cromwell was escorted out in handcuffs. The meeting immediately resumed.

The UW spokesperson said both men were taken to a nearby jail and are expected to be charged with disorderly conduct.

He may be the "Babe" star to you, but to me he'll always be the sadistic, mad, former Nazi doctor who rode a fallen nun into the fires of a crematorium.

He's always been a protester. He actually worked with the Black Panthers back in the 60's.

Instead of tweeting out pictures of himself like Beth, it looks like Cromwell uses a different approach to raising awareness for animoe issues.

Wow, he looks terrible.

For some reason I thought he was going to be busted smoking crack with gay prostitutes like the dad from ALF.

No shit!

After seeing the thread title, I was expecting to read that he was jerking off in a parking lot of some elementary school while watching the kids play!

I still remember him in "Tank" when he was the dumbshit deputy and when he was getting excited while watching the psycho sheriff belt a hooker on her bare ass, the sheriff turns around and whips him across his face for being turned on.
