Two and a Half Men Finds a Replacement for Charlie Sheen
The show will officially go on for Two and a Half Men, with a new leading man at the center of it.
Just days after Hugh Grant reportedly turned down the chance to replace Charlie Sheen on the sitcom, sources confirm that Ashton Kutcher has signed a deal with CBS.
Details on his character and on the casting process will likely be revealed at the network's Upfronts in New York on May 18. For now, Variety simply reports a "huge payday" is in store for the former That 70's Show star. Can you see him verbally sparring with Jon Cryer?

I think that Judd Nelson would be a great replacement for Charlie Sheen, last season he appeared as the ex husband of Allen's girl friend. He was already introduced in the story, he would move into Charlie's beach house for some reason or other and he and Allen would be at odds because of his relationship with his ex wife, Judd can be funny and serious and would be a good choice. Kutcher is good, but I think would be too comical and imature for this role,

I am a fan of the show, not Ashton Kutcher. I think he is too young and wrong for the part.

I don't exaxctly like this show... But I also don't see him playing this role.... Charlie Sheen is just a douchebag and Chuck Lorre should just leave things be and work more on TBBT so it can outshine this crappy show...
Raj needs to start talking to girls and get over the bernadette/clarinet situation. That's more important.

Wow, that would be like replacing Jim Parsons (Sheldon) on BBT with Sean Williams Scott. Don't get me wrong, I like most of Ashton's work, I just don't see the fit.
