'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' actor Shelley Malil has been granted parole after serving almost close to a decade on charges of an attempted murder, the NY DailyNews reports. The decision came on Tuesday after a California parole board presided over Malil's case, deeming him a low risk in terms of violent acts in the future.

The 53-year-old actor, who is best known for starring alongside Steve Carell in the 2005 Judd Apatow-directed sex comedy, 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin', was sentenced to a life term following a 2008 stabbing incident. According to reports, Malil had been charged with attempted murder, after he allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend Kendra Beebe 23 times. The incident is said to have taken place inside her home, when Malil found the victim drinking with another man.
