TMZ has learned 44-year-old Pasdar was arrested at 2:59 AM after cops clocked him going more than 90 mph on the 405 Freeway in L.A. We're told cops also noticed Pasdar was "failing to maintain his lane."

According to the police report, when cops approached Pasdar's ride, they detected the odor of alcohol -- and decided to give him a field sobriety test. Pasdar was eventually placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI.

Pasdar -- who is married to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines -- was taken to a nearby jail, where he was booked and placed behind bars. He's listed at 5'10" and 175 lbs.

His bail was set at $15,000 -- we're told the bail amount was so high because the actor refused to take a breathalyzer.

Getting busted for a DUI is serious business. If you've been busted and need an attorney, contact the law offices of Bruce M. Margolin at 1-800-420-LAWS or 310 652-0991 anytime, 24/7.

It is probably because he was fired from Heroes and was not told about it until he read the script. The other actors say they were surprised the writers did so also.

He finally realized Natalie is a gay.

When are these 'idiot' celebrities going to realize that the cops don't play when it comes to DUI?? Yeah, it applies to you guys too! Not just us nobody, little-people!

Amazing that rich people just can't seem to get it together. Say what you want but only morons drink then step on the gas...it's so 5 years ago.

14.

It's funny that his height and weight are listed. How is that relevant other than for the sexually repressed women who spend all day on TMZ to fantasize to?

15.

Disgusting! He could have killed someone! FYI out of towners: 2:59am is the ONLY time you could do 90mph on the 405!
