Los Angeles police said they arrested the 55-year-old director on Jan. 8 when, dressed in women's clothing, he approached an undercover officer sitting in a car and offered to perform a sex act on him.
The incident occurred on a part of Hollywood's Santa Monica Boulevard that is known as a haunt for prostitutes and their clients.
Tamahori was charged with two misdemeanours: agreeing to engage in an act of prostitution and unlawful loitering. He is to be arraigned in court in Los Angeles on Feb. 24 and is currently free on US$2,000 bail.
