Brea, who appeared on "Ugly Betty" as well as in "Step-Up 3D," is accused of killing his mother with a samurai sword while reciting Bible passages.
"Michael was yelling, 'Repent, repent, sinner, sinner,' over and over again," a neighbor told the Daily News. "He was screaming, 'You never accepted Jesus.' It was real loud."

His mother, Yannick Brea, was 55.
