“Seinfeld” Star Wants to Be Charlie Sheen’s Replacement on “Two and a Half Men”

Charlie Sheen’s recent foray into Twitter spurred conversation from countless celebrities, and his recent firing from “Two and a Half Men” has the dialogue continuing.

One celebrity who weighed in is “Seinfeld” alumnus Jason Alexander, who played the iconic George Costanza on the show. Alexander, who has since appeared on short-lived sitcoms “Bob Patterson” and “Listen Up,” joked in a Tweet that he wants to replace Sheen on CBS’ “Two and a Half Men,” the most-viewed sitcom on television.

“Apparently, Charlie Sheen has been fired from Two and a Half Men. As an act of pure selflessness, I would like to volunteer my services to step into his role, so that millions of fans around the world will not be disappointed,” wrote Alexander.

He added, “Finding myself in this generous state, I will forego contract negotiations and merely assume the unfinished contract of Mr. Sheen, himself.

“Also, in an effort to bring a Sheen-esque quality to my portrayal, so as not to disrupt viewer appreciation, I will commence using cocaine in quantities large enough to challenge the national output of Columbia; fornicate with as many adult film actresses as I can afford – I may throw in underage Thai hookers, as well; commit assaults in four and five star hotels prior to trashing the hotel rooms; and finally strive to alienate and piss off not only my immediate bosses and superiors, but the entire film and television industry.”

CBS and WBTV have yet to comment on whether a replacement will be sought to bring the show back to the air next season. Insofar as Jon Cryer’s character started to gain the central focus over the past few seasons, it is, of course, possible for the show, which has a strong supporting cast, to resume without a new actor in the Sheen role.

  1. Rober Downey Jr would be a great replacement. He has charisma, looks and has a character like Charlie Sheen.
