Tracey Garrett, federal prisoner no. 31079-077, appeals the dismissal as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2) and 1915A of his action brought pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). Garrett alleged that actor Chuck Norris and numerous employees of the television show ‘Walker, Texas Ranger” violated his civil rights by acting as federal law enforcement officers, arresting and harassing him on camera, and causing humiliating photographs of him to be published in People magazine.

Garrett’s action is time-barred and was properly dismissed as frivolous. See Gonzales v. Wyatt, 157 F.3d 1016, 1019-20 (5th Cir. 1998). In addition, Garrett’s attempts to argue on appeal for tolling the limitation period or beginning it at a later date lack any arguable merit. Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

The district court’s dismissal and the dismissal of this appeal as frivolous both count as strikes for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 385-87 (5th Cir. 1996). We caution Garrett that once he accumulates three strikes, he may not proceed in forma pauperis in any civil action or appeal filed while he is incarcerated unless he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

*871 APPEAL DISMISSED; THREE-STRIKES WARNING ISSUED.
