She was there from the beginning to the bitter end: In the sitcom Two and a Half Men, Melanie Lynskey played the neighbor and stalker Rose for twelve years. The character resided next to the beachfront property of Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper.
Melanie Lynskey’s career is blossoming, she feels like she’s in every big series. After a difficult few years, Charlie Sheen is apparently on the up again. 12 years after being kicked out of TAAHM, series creators Chuck Lorre and Sheen have reconciled and are planning a joint series that sounds like Two and a Half Men 2.0.

Melanie Lynskey in Yellowjackets
At a Variety event with Melanie Lynskey, the conversation turned to Charlie Sheen. She wishes him the best, Lynskey said. “The last time I texted Charlie, he was doing so well.”
Also from the new one Chuck Lorre/Charlie Sheen collaboration heard Lynskey. “If they want me to perform, I would do it”, she said. She remembered “such funny moments” in Two and a Half Men – and referred to her great passion for comedy. The actress has recently moved away from this genre. She co-stars in the acclaimed thriller series Yellowjackets, starred as Leonardo DiCaprio’s wife in the Netflix hit Don’t Look Up, and guest-starred in the equally acclaimed horror series The Last of Us.
