Ashton Kutcher has come from out of nowhere to win the race to replace Charlie Sheen in "Two and a Half Men." Sources indicate the previous "That 70s Show" and "Punk’d" star has signed a contract that will pay him between $625,000 and $900,000 per episode, just over half of what Charlie Sheen reportedly earned. Season nine of "Two and a Half Men" will return in rebooted form as soon as the middle of the current TV season.
Done with the Harper unique character
Alan and Jake will still be played by Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Some suggested that Kutcher might replace Charlie Sheen as Harper in "Two and a Half Men." This isn’t true; all that is known is that he will be living in the Malibu beach house with characters Cryer and Jones.
Late-comer Kutcher may have a lot of work
Numerous actors and at least one actress have been rumored to replace Charlie Sheen on “Two and a Half Men,” including Rob Lowe (a friend of Charlie Sheen, whom he recommended), John Stamos, Matt Dillon, Jenny McCarthy and Hugh Grant. According to the Huffington Post, as of May 11 Grant almost got the part. Due to "creative differences," the deal was broken at the last minute.
Ashton Kutcher used comments such as "What’s the square root of 6.25? Two and a half," on Twitter to his 6.7 million supporters after CBS and "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre decided on the deal with Kutcher. "Two and a Half Men" will thrive, Lorre hopes, with Kutcher on the show. His twitter fan base could be able to help with that.
Charlie Sheen involvement
Kutcher's job is not something Charlie Sheen has talked about. In addition to completing his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour and possibly continuing his "Sheen’s Korner" video podcast, Sheen might be up for a role on "Entourage," notes the Hollywood Reporter. He said that he wants to say sorry to Chuck Lorre for his rants in hopes of being back on the "Two and a Half Men" show.
