This reunion marks the revival of a creative partnership that initially thrived on the hit CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” Lorre co-created and served as an executive producer for the show, with Sheen taking on a starring role. Sheen’s performance on the series earned him four Emmy nominations, but his departure in the eighth season, marked by a very public meltdown that included his famous “tiger blood” interview with ABC News and a stint in drug rehab, became a notable chapter in the series’ history. Following this, Sheen made numerous disparaging comments about Lorre, leading to Lorre’s decision to write off Sheen’s character on “Two and a Half Men.” It was only revealed in the series finale that Sheen’s character wasn’t truly dead but met his demise when a piano fell on his head.
Charlie Sheen is represented by Gersh, Atlas Artists, and Mosley & Associates.
“How to Be a Bookie” has been greenlit for an eight-episode run. The series, co-created by Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay, features Sebastian Maniscalco as the central character, Danny, a veteran bookie grappling with the challenges brought about by the impending legalization of sports gambling. He must navigate the waters of increasingly erratic clients, family, colleagues, and a whirlwind Los Angeles lifestyle that takes him through its high and low points.
