Former Shortland Street actor Andrew Laing says he has embarrassed himself by drink driving after a night at the theatre earlier this month.
Laing, who appeared as a police detective in Underbelly NZ and a Roman magistrate in Spartacus, said he miscalculated how much he had drunk when he decided to move his car out of a council park on August 11.
The 45-year-old was caught on Karangahape Rd shortly after 2am with a reading of 676 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath.
"When you find yourself in this situation I think it's far more humiliating for the self," Laing told APNZ outside court.
"I don't care what other people think about me, I'm more embarrassed for myself.
