Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen are also considered good friends beyond their work. They already appeared together in the action parody Hot Shots. In Two and a Half Men they played the unlikely pair of brothers Alan and Charlie Harper from 2003 – until they parted ways. Sheen was kicked off the show due to various misconduct.
The series ended in 2015 without Charlie Sheen. Jon Cryer has since tried his hand at playing DC villain Lex Luthor in Supergirl, among other roles. Now he’s returning to comedy, Deadline reports.

They decide to continue raising their children in the family home. However, things become more complicated for Jim when Trey (Faison) enters the picture and wins Julia’s heart.
