Russell Crowe can't work in the USA?

Russell Crowe's lawyers are working to win a reduction of the assault charge filed against him after hurled a phone at a hotel staffer.

He was charged with felony assault after he was accused of throwing a malfunctioning telephone at hotel concierge this past June.

If convicted, Crowe could lose his right to work in the United States and could face up to seven years in prison. His lawyers are working to have the felony charge reduced to a less serious misdemeanor.
