Charlie Sheen had a lot of success in his career even before Two and a Half Men. However, some slipped through his fingers because he turned down the roles. That’s what happened with the 90s cult. White boys don’t cut it. 26 years later he is still struggling with his choice.
Long before Two and a Half Men: Charlie Sheen rejected 90s hit
The 1992 sports comedy follows two amateur basketball players (Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson) in Los Angeles who compete for money and eventually get into trouble with the mob. For the role of Billy Hoyle (Harrelson) was originally intended for Sheen.

Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in White Boys Can’t Do It
In 2018 he commented on the rejection of the hit role, which he also called “Big mistake” (via news.com.au ). He did not explain why he declined the offer. “My friends think Woody Harrelson should send me flowers. He owes me his career“, quotes him from the Huffington Post. That sounds a little frustrating. And not without reason.
White Boys Don’t Bring It grossed a whopping $90 million (via Box Office Mojo), received good reviews (via Rotten Tomatoes), and was one of director legend Stanley Kubrick’s favorite films (via Vanity Fair). No wonder Sheen is still frustrated with Harrelson’s career takeoff. You can ask for a few flowers.
