Charlie Sheen is WINNING again after being booted from the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men” last March.
Mr. Sheen has teamed up with Revolution Studios to bring the 2003 comedy film “Anger Management” to television. Charlie will take on the role of Dave Buznik, originally played by Adam Sandler.
“I chose ‘Anger Management’ because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it’s a great concept,” Sheen said.
Charlie will not be hurting either. After being the highest paid actor in television history at $2 million per episode, Mr. Sheen has decided to take an ownership stake in the new sitcom that will also give him creative control.
Joe Roth, the head of Revolution Studios had this to say about Charlie: “Who better than Charlie Sheen to tackle Anger Management. With Charlie’s incredible talent and comedic gifts, he remains the leading man of TV sitcoms. I’m excited to collaborate with him once again.”
This will not be the first time Sheen has worked with Roth. They also worked together on the films “Young Guns” and “Major League”.
Although ‘Anger Management’ does not have a network or time slot yet I’m sure, knowing Charlie, it will air against “Two and a Half Men”.
