  • Jon Cryer was bitten by the acting bug early, and achieved success with his starring turn in John Hughes' "Pretty in Pink." But there was a long period before he had a hit again with "Two and a Half Men," one of the most successful sitcoms ever. Cryer talks about his new memoir with correspondent Ben Tracy.

    Jon Cryer never got enough credit for the success of this show. His comedic timing with Sheen was perfect. Just one man’s opinion.

      After considering a multitude of comedic actors, Crier got the
      role. Let's face facts
      shall we? ANYONE
      with comedic talent
      could have easily followed Charlie's
      extrodindany talents
      in Comedy, acting, etc. Jon played a
      supporting role, as did
      the other cast members of 21/2 men.
      Rather than reach out
      a helping hand when a
      friend is in need...Jon
      chose to take an entirely different approach...writing a
      "Tell All book" about
      Charlie Sheen. Backfired big-time Jon!! Sheen FANS were
      and still are infuriated
      with the back stabbing, unmitigated
      lack of ethics, taking
      advantage of his colleagues misfortune!!
      Hanging onto as much
      of the Media Spotlight
      from a fellow human
      beings downfall. Wasn't a manager
      employed by Jon
      who should have perhaps mentioned
      that this was so wrong
      Dear Jon on so many
      levels??? Hmmmm?
      Are you WINNING JON?? TLC

    This show died when Charlie Sheen was let go. The reason Two And a Half Men was such a great series, was that Sheen & Cryer has such great chemistry together. They were completely different, and therefor they complimented each other very well. That dynamic just wasn't there with Ashton Kutcher -Who is otherwise a great actor and comedian as well :7

We watch reruns of this show daily and have for years. We can say the lines before the characters do, we have watched so many times. Regardless, it's the characters exceptional talent and delivery that makes it funny again and again. As long as the reruns are showing we will watch them. You rock John Cryer!

    So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana".
    I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly…
    I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling.
    He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car.
    A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

    I never, ever watched two and a half men until it was over. I watch the reruns every chance I get. His personality is awesome.

    I guess I am one of the few who really appreciated the show when they focused more on the neurosis of Jon Cryer's character, Alan. I thought it grew funnier.

    Always enjoyed Jon on 2 1/2 Men. Perfectly cast to play the neurotic and insecure Alan Harper. Glad he found success in his professional life and happiness in his personal life.

    Sheen and Cryer had great chemistry. TAHM will always be my favorite show. (Not a Ashton Kutcher fan.)

      Nothing wrong with Ashton Kutcher, just the character Walden himself was a bit absurd

      Ashton Kutcher is a super good dude though.

    One of the best shows on TV, the both of them together worked, I still watch the old shows and still laugh. Never get tired of watching the both of them play off of each other . And we all need a good laugh. Thank you for the laughs.

    He was the most talented one on that show...... his character made Charlie look so much better! He’s clearly the only sane well-balanced person on that show too. I wish him well !
