"Two and a half people": roles, actors. "Two and a half people": American sitok 2003-2015.

For twelve years in a row, one of the most popular sitcoms in the US was broadcast on the American television channel SBC, which was officially completed this year. The actors "Two and a Half Men" thanks to this TV show became popular not only in America, but all over the world, even though the main stars of the series, Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher, who came to replace him, did not need special representation.

A little about the plot

In the center of history are two brothers Harper, trying to get along under one roof. The elder, Charlie, successfully creates music commercials for advertising, owns a luxurious mansion on the shores of the ocean in Malibu and burns life at parties, his main hobbies in life are women and alcohol. The youngest, Allan, the manual therapist, who is terribly unlucky in life, after divorcing his wife, who tore him off like a stick, he temporarily moves to his older brother with his son Jake. Jake, in his turn, is a typical teenager, who does not need anything other than food and video games. And these three have to get along under one roof, even though Charlie and Allan do not approve of each other's way of life, and both try to teach Jake to the mind, each in his own way. The actors "Two and a half people" coped with their task perfectly, their skirmishes and disputes look really comical and emotional. Confirmation of this is the unconditional love of the audience and many awards and prizes, including the Golden Globe.

Scandalous Charlie

In the series "Two and a Half Men", actors and roles have been chosen as well as possible. For example, the famous brother Charlie Sheen plays the big brother, famous not only for his successful work in film and television, but also for his love affairs, as well as the abuse of alcohol and drugs, which, in fact, led to the firing of the actor from the series. In the middle of the shooting of the eighth season, Charlie was hospitalized after a 36-hour party, and afterwards was treated in a rehabilitation clinic. The shooting had to be stopped. After leaving the clinic, the actor gave a scandalous interview, where he insulted himself in the direction of the producer of the series Chuck Lorry, which was the last straw for the creators of the show. So Shin, you can say, was lucky to implement in the sitcom almost himself, probably, that's why his Charlie looks so convincing. But anyway, before the series at Shin behind the shoulders was already really impressive filmography and world fame. His most famous works are the films "Platoon", "Wall Street", "Major League", as well as two popular comedic action movie "Hotheads."

Unhappy brother

Not all leading actors of the series "Two and a half people" can boast a significant track record before filming in the sitcom, but the performer of the role of Allan Harper John Cryer was also not a rookie in the movie, and especially on television. By the way, he already had to play with Shin on one site in the film "Hotheads", so that the interaction of the actors was already established, and this is also perfectly visible in the frame. In addition, Cryer is known to a wide audience of viewers also for the films "The Girl in the Pink" and "Vprityk". Before the series "Two and a half people" John did not have successful roles on TV, all his works were not very famous or frankly failed, but this did not stop him later to receive four nominations of "Emmy" and win in two of them a victory for the role of Allan Harper. Cryer also writes scripts, produces and tries to direct herself.

From cinema to religion

But with the performer of the role of Jake Harper, not everything is so unambiguous. Angus Jones was still very young at the beginning of the shootings of the series, but already managed to work in several films and serials, in particular in the famous "First Aid". But Jones was not like all the actors. "Two and a half people" brought him real fame, two awards "Young Actor", thanks to the sitko he became the highest paid young actor on television, but Jones failed to be grateful. In 2012, Angus made a scandalous statement, calling the series "dirt", giving him popularity, urged viewers to stop watching and lamenting about his participation in it, but at the same time remained there to play, even though his character turned into the rank of secondary ones. According to the actor, the series does not correspond to his religious beliefs, which recently became for Jones a priority career.

A holy place is never empty

Not all the main actors "Two and a half people" were on the show from the very beginning. Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher in the ninth season took the vacant seat of the main character of the sitcom after the scandalous departure of Charlie Sheen and got along pretty well. His hero is Walden Schmidt, he is going to buy Charlie's mansion, which was put up for sale by Allan after his brother's death. Walden and junior Harper find a common language, because the Internet entrepreneur, like Allan in his time, is going through a hard divorce and is on the verge of suicide. In the end, both men got on well, and Schmidt decided to leave the former tenant with his son in his mansion until Harper solved his problems. The arrival of the new hero slightly refreshed the series, and Ashton fit perfectly into the team, so that after four days the sitcom lasted for four more seasons.

Persons known and not very

But not only the main actors of the movie "Two and a Half Men" deserve close attention. A very notable character is the mother of the Harper brothers named Evelyn, played by Holland Taylor. In the distant past, the singer, now a successful agent for the sale of elite real estate, she never took proper part in the lives of her sons. And when the grown-ups Charlie and Allan repaid her with the same coin, she was terribly hurt, and this very bitchy person brings a lot of chaos to the brothers' so difficult life. The sarcastic housemaid Bertha performed by Konchata Ferrel became almost a member of the family in Charlie's house, without her sound irony and wise advice to men would be much worse. Melanie Linski embodied on the screen Rose, a rich neighbor, madly in love with Charlie, following him on the heels and eventually still achieved his. The eccentric Judith Harper, Allan's first wife and Jake's mother, was played by Marin Hinkle, and the role of the blonde-nymphomaniac Candy, who managed to become Charlie's one-day girlfriend to become Allan's second wife, went to actress April Bowlby. This is the most permanent actors in the series "Two and a Half Men". Season 11 was marked by the departure from the core of Jake and the appearance of a lesbian, Jennifer Harper, as it turns out to be Charlie's daughter, unsuccessfully searching for her father and remaining in the sitcom until the last series.

For all the years in the episodes of the series "Two and a Half Men", a considerable number of famous guest stars have starred, including Enrique Iglesias, Brooke Shields, Megan Fox, Steve Tyler, Tory Hatcher, Miley Cyrus, Mila Kunis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and many others.
