Warner Bros. Television fired Charlie Sheen’s services effective immediately, Monday, March 7, 2011 from his top-rated TV comedy shows “Two and A Half Men.”
The 45-year-old highest paid actor on the United States television and in his show “Two and A Half Men” garnered the credit as the most popular comedy for CBS network which have the series broadcasts.
The CBS network has declined to comment, “no decisions have been made yet about the future of the comedy shows ‘Two and A Half Men’” whether to cancel the show all together or continue with a new lead.
In the show ‘Two and A Half Men’ where Sheen plays a role that attract about 14 million U.S. viewers a week, and about 10-million tune-in to watch repeats has magnetized more advertising revenue for the network of CBS that makes millions for the Warner Bros. Television.
Sheen had signed a contract that runs through to the end of the 2012 TV season with the TV show where he was paid in the contract prize roughly $2-million (1.2-million pounds) per episode. Sheen demanded $3 million an episode for the reason that he was paid was too low. Sheen’s lawyer also threatened a lawsuit if Sheen will not be paid for the remaining eight cancelled episodes this season.
But Monday, Sheen fired from ‘Two and A Half Men’ where Warner Bros. have noticed that Sheen could no longer perform effectively. Untoward changes in his characteristic mixture of nonchalance and more insulting to Chuck Lorre the producer and co-creator by saying “Stupid, Stupid little man.”
In 2010 the actor was involved in a drug and alcohol related incidents. He was pleaded guilty to an (–foul word(s) removed–)ault on his ex-wife sometime in August. The production of the ‘Two and A Half Men’ started shutting down late January when the actor Charlie Sheen was persuaded to enter rehab after a 36 hours cocaine-fuelled party in his home at Los Angeles.
