He’s being sued by an insane chick who accused him of locking her in his bathroom and assaulting her. He was a prominent name in Heidi Fleiss’s list of Johns. Lately he trashed a motel room he was sharing with a hooker.
Do the writers just wait for Charlie to come in on Monday, ask him how his weekend went, and write everything down for future plot lines?
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the other way around. He reads the scripts and goes out and does it in real life 
According to a recent article in the New York Times, his character has steadily been made more “pathetic” and the references to his drinking more disapproving.
Yeah, I know you meant to make a cheap joke, but I thought I’d throw that in anyway.
Which is why I never watched the show, I want to keep up the suspence.
Kind of like avoiding the previews.
That’s the only explanation I can think of for why hookers are such a big part of the show.
It’s hard to understand why a single, good-looking, wealthy man (Charlie Harper), who has no trouble attracting willing, attractive women, would use hookers.
For some reason, my mom loves Two and a Half Men. I was visiting once and we were watching it and Charlie Sheen was taking part in a fivesome with:
– A 19 year old college freshman
– Some random bar trollop
– And TWO hookers
How this is considered a “family show” is beyond me.
You know what Charlie (Sheen) said after the Heidi Fleiss incident - “I don’t pay them to have sex with me. I pay them to leave afterwards.”
I suspect that a very significant proportion of prostitutes’ clientele consists of single, good-looking, affluent men.
Charlie Sheen has had a reputation as a womanizer from long before the show started:
I suspect that what happened was that when the show was created, the writers and producers decided what the character was like. Someone said, “This guy sounds like Charlie Sheen. Hey, why don’t we just hire Charlie Sheen for the role?”
There are prostitutes and prostitutes. I doubt very much if street whores attract many if any “single, good-looking, affluent” men. Some articles I’ve read on the legal prostitution ranches in Nevada indicate that much of the clientele are elderly men who can’t get satisfaction any other way.
You’re probably talking about the super-high-end call girl services in a few select cities. Even there, the articles that talked about them after Eliot Spitzer was arrested suggested that their clients were usually married. Affluent, though, definitely.
Actually, I think Charlie Harper (the sitcom character) said almost the same thing in a recent episode.
He pays for sex with no emotianal commitment.
Not only less emotional commitment but less effort all around. After he’s done he doesn’t have to worry about them dropping by his house, calling him, trying to be his girlfriend, going to the press, nothing. Wham, bam, I’ll call you again if I ever need you, not leave.
I think it was the other way around–Show creator Chuck Lore read about Sheen’s escapades and thought “there’s a great sitcom character.” He then had enough sense to cast Sheen and give him a fantastic supporting cast.
Sheen has to be making the most money with the least effort in all of Hollywood.
It could be that that’s what happened. Notice that this isn’t even the first time that Charlie Sheen has been cast as a character that’s similar to his real life. His character on Spin City was like him too.
