NEW YORK (Feb. 10) - Dude! The actor who gained fame and a cult following as the slacker ``Steven'' in commercials for Dell computers was arrested buying a small bag of marijuana, police said.

Benjamin Curtis, a 22-year-old New York University drama student, awaited arraignment Monday on a misdemeanor drug possession charge.

Police said he was arrested Sunday night on the Lower East Side after officers on a drug detail spotted him buying a small bag of marijuana from Omar Mendez, 19. Mendez faces drug sale and possession charges.

Curtis' agent, Bonnie Shumofsky, had no immediate comment on the arrest.

Curtis' portrayal of a surfer type who proclaims, ``Dude, yer gettin' a Dell!'' drove up computer sales and spawned T-shirts, caps, and backpacks, along with Web sites and online fan clubs.
