A man has denied burglary after film actor Nicolas Cage confronted an intruder at his California home.
Robert Dennis Furo was released on bail of $50,000 (£24,400) after pleading not guilty to the charge.
Police called to Cage's home said he escorted the man outside after finding him standing near a bathroom wearing nothing but one of his leather jackets.
The Oscar-winning actor had called security guards at the gated community after discovering the trespasser.
'No struggle'
Mr Furo, 45, who is scheduled to appear in court on 10 October for a preliminary hearing, could face up to six years' in prison if convicted.
Los Angeles police officer Lt Craig Fox said that Cage was upstairs with his son in the early hours of Tuesday morning when the intruder was reported.
"He was standing there naked - except for the leather jacket," he said.
Cage had already asked him to remove the jacket and escorted him off the premises "without struggle", added Lt Fox.
The 43-year-old actor won an Oscar for his performance in Leaving Las Vegas, and has recently starred in box office successes Ghost Rider and World Trade Center.
