One great thing about Jon

One great thing about Jon Cryer is that if you respect him, he would consider respecting you back. He wouldn't just do it automatically, but he'd consider it.

Incidentally, one of my best friends is a bit obsessed with Jon Cryer, and she also happens to be very happily married to a guy who not only looks rather like John Cryer but shares many of his personality traits. I once asked her if she would leave her husband for John Cryer if he came calling. She said something to the effect that she would never do a thing like that, neither would Jon Cryer, and that was the end of it.

I'm inclined to agree with Ramona. Definitely about Robert Downey Jr., one of the best actors out there and probably about Charlie Sheen too. If he's actually clean, then he's very sick and needs help.

The difference between Sheen

The difference between Sheen and Robert Downey Jr. is that Downey only hurt himself. There was always a sense of decency about him, and now that he's conquered his demons, I'm cheering for him. He's a good actor who deserves another chance. I wish I could say the same about Charlie Sheen.

But having said that, I'm not entirely comfortable with looking down on Sheen until I know whether or not his behavior is a manifestation of a severe mental illness. If it is, he needs our support and not our ridicule.

Two and a Half Men may yet

Two and a Half Men may yet return. At the end of the day, they are going to extract every last episode they can from Mr. Sheen tolerating his every act of lunacy until he is completely and totally destroyed. It's what they do in Hollywood. There are too many people making too much money to let bad behavior get in their way. He can drunk drive, he can batter women, he can bite the hand that feeds him, because he is the reason they have their hand out in the first place. They are looking for their handout from him and they will tolerate his bites until he cannot feed them anymore. Even his arch nemesis is making millions from having Charlie Sheen on board to whatever degree Mr. Sheen has any consciousness of reality left. So, they will kiss and make up and millions will watch his next episode and the one after that. The interesting thing is that no one really knows if anyone else can play his part. He made the character, so while there might be the same recipe, there is only one Charlie Sheen. He may have hit the peak of his career and may be long past the peak of his life, but everyone will watch this like they did OJ Simpson, until he either wrecks or is actually put away for good. It may very well be that we enjoy his character because he is barely a person any longer, much in the same strain as Roberty Downey Jr. except even more hopeless.

The reason I respect him is that, so far, he hasn't said a word against Charlie Sheen, the guy who killed their hit TV sitcom and put him out of a very high-paying job. It would be easy to go out and do some interviews now about what an asshat Charlie Sheen is, but he has restrained himself and said nothing. If the situation was reversed, well you know that staying quiet wouldn't be an option.

Well if a B-rated actor like

Well if a B-rated actor like Ronnie RayGun could become President, Jon Cryer has a good shot in politics as well if he decides to make the move. From what you say, he definitely sounds like George W...the kind of person you'd drink as beer with.

I love Ducky, Wolfy. For me, Ducky is Two and a Half Men.

Yes, I've just now realized I actually spell your name differently almost every time I respond to your blog.. sorry, Wulfy, Wolfy, Wolfie, I just am not sure what the hell is wrong with me! I need to review my nick name spelling book immediately.

You better not be dissing Jon

You better not be dissing Jon Cryer by pretending respect for him. I saw him in "Pretty in Pink" years ago and predicted he was going to be a huge star. I don't know, there was something about him that told me he was one to watch. That he ended up as second banana to Charlie Sheen in a so-so TV comedy is just one in a long line of predictions gone wrong.

I predicted Suzanne Somers would go nowhere, and look where she is now. She keeps going. . .and going. . .and going.
