LOS ANGELES – The crew of “Two and a Half Men” will be paid for half of the eight episodes of that were cancelled by producers upset about Charlie Sheen’s off-screen antics.
Sheen says the agreement is a “start” as he continues to battle the show’s producers.
Sheen told the AP that “…clearly my efforts are paying off. I won’t sleep until I get all eight…”
Last week Warner Brothers cancelled the remaining eight episodes of this season of the show, citing Sheen’s public behaviour and negative comments about executive producer Chuck Lorre.
In Sheen’s interviews with ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “Today” show yesterday, he boasted about his “epic” partying and said he’s fueled by “violent hatred” of his bosses. He also claimed to have kicked drugs at home in his “Sober Valley Lodge.”
Sheen also appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight and among the many interesting moments pulled out what appeared to be a doctor’s note of a clean drug test…
He says he wants a raise to come back to the CBS show “Two and a Half Men.”
NBC interviewer Jeff Rossen appeared startled when Sheen said he wanted to be paid $3 million an episode to return to the show.
He’s reportedly paid $1.8 million an episode now, one of the highest-paid actors on television.
“You want a raise?” Rossen asked.
Replied Sheen: “Yeah, look what they put me through.”
