Actor Mark Salling, who played Puck for six seasons on the hit Fox series “Glee,” was released on $20,000 bail following his arrest Tuesday on suspicion of child pornography.

TMZ.com reports that family members put up his bail, posting 10% of the total.

The report notes that Salling is accused of possessing more than 1,000 child porn images, adding: “The law provides if there are more than 600 images, the maximum punishment is 5 years in prison.”

The Washington Post notes that Salling, 33, was a Christian rocker earlier in his career, and reports that many social media users have begun dissecting his situation.

The report quotes one Twitter user writing: “So sick of celebrities abusing their position as people who can influence the younger generation. The news about Mark Salling is sickening.”

Another tweet cited by the Post reads: “Disappointed to hear about the allegations against Mark Salling. I hope those who were victimized find closure.”

TMZ reports separately that Salling has already wrapped his first post-“Glee” movie role, playing a villain in “Adi Shankar’s Gods and Secrets.” But the report says the film’s producers are considering cutting him from the movie in the wake of his arrest.

The producers were expected to announce today that they will take a “wait and see” approach as his case develops.

“But behind the scenes, we’re told they’re freaked out and already talking about cutting him out of the movie and recasting the role,” TMZ adds.
