NEW YORK (Reuters) - The son of actor Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas could face life in prison for selling large amounts of an illegal drug over a three-year period before his arrest late last month, court records show.

Cameron Douglas, 30, a sometimes actor who appeared with his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas in "It Runs in the Family," is accused of selling tens of thousands of dollars worth of methamphetamine, according to a complaint unsealed this week.

Douglas faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum period of life for two counts of possessing and distributing forms of methamphetamine known by the street names of "crystal meth" and "Ice," which is smoked in a pipe.

Douglas received large quantities of crystal meth in California then sent them to New York via FedEx between 2006 and 2009. He worked with accomplices who are cooperating with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the complaint said.
