Respect Jon Cryer

By William K. Wolfrum on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 9:16am | Arts & Entertainment, Humor & Satire

Jon Cryer isn’t all about winning. Jon Cryer is happy with a draw.

Jon Cryer’s best-known role as an actor was as Ducky. And he’s Ok with that.

If a neighbor asked Jon Cryer to pick up their mail while they were on vacation, Jon Cryer would do it. Maybe he’d miss a day, but he would never let the mail pile up.

Charlie Sheen inspires me

By William K. Wolfrum on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 8:42am | Humor & Satire, Media
