Two and a Half Men Almost Replaced Charlie Sheen with...
Jeremy Piven. John Stamos. Bob Saget.
Plenty of names have been batted around as possible replacements for Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, but CBS almost took fans by surprise with the actor Deadline Hollywood reports came very close to signing.
Hugh Grant was allegedly THISclose to putting his name on a contract that would have paid him $1 million per episode. Alas, the deal fell apart at the last moment due to "creative differences."
Would Grant have made a suitable sitcom star? He'd certainly bring something different to the show than Sheen or Jon Cryer.
The network is hoping to fill Sheen's voice prior to announcing its fall schedule at Upfronts next week. But with this development, that possibility is seeming less likely.

When I think of Hugh Grant I think he is a social retard..
Come on people, he was on Leno once, and admitting that the black girl was ____________ in the car when the cops came and busted them.
Is that good "Moral Turpitude" = and he's not even an American...
What is it with you guys, are there no American actors that need a paycheck, ready to take on a warlocks job?
Get Sheen on his knees and get him back...at least try it, one day at a time......Hope for the best, get the best....Warlocks have magic...let it shine.....

Hugh Grant would be wrong wrong wrong.
I say, Chuck Lorre and Les Moonves and Peter Roth should sit at lunch at the W/B at order a cobb salad each and ice tea.
Then, the three of them tell Charlie Sheen to get on his knees and say he is sorry for being so insulting ...lets, see, how about, he says he's sorry for insulting just about everybody, the network, himself, Charlie Levine and Sheen's 3 xwives, all his old girlfriends, his cast, his crew, his make up and all the editors, other script writers, other show runners, and most of all... US Joe Public that had to hear about this mess for weeks.
But Joe Public is VERY forgiving...And, last I heard, Charlie wanted his job back after he was sober a few weeks and had the guts to admit he was wrong on a multitude of levels.
But, forgive and forget. For Charlie Sheen to come back for another 22 or 20 episodes I feel it would take great script writing. We never know ,,,US Joe Public, what goes on behind the scenes.
