Two and a Half Men Star Angus T. Jones Calls Show Filth
The move marks another significant shift for the cast of Two and a Half Men, which was just renewed for an 11th season. Jones sealed his departure as a series regular last year when hedescribed the show as filthduring an interview with the Christian group Forerunner Chronicles. You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that, Jones said. I know I cant. Im not OK with what Im learning, what the Bible says and being on that television show.
Jones later apologized, and finished out the season despite the controversy. He could appear occasionally as a guest star going forward, now that his character is said to be off at college.
Sheen was infamously fired from the show in 2011 following his bizarre meltdown that found him bashing the show and creator Chuck Lorre. His character was subsequently killed off and replaced by Kutchers.
