HOLLYWOOD - Production on acclaimed comedy Arrested Development has been temporarily halted, while star Jason Bateman recovers from throat surgery.

The 36-year-old actor underwent surgery yesterday morning to remove a benign polyp.

Bateman's spokesperson, Cara Tripicchio, says the operation went smoothly and the screen star is doing well.

Production on Arrested Development will be on hiatus for a few weeks while Bateman recovers, according to executive producer Mitch Hurwitz.
