Jon Cryer tells the truth about his career

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.

[@kgonza1220]

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

[@VeracityLH]

I agree wholeheartedly. He was the reason I watched the show.

[@syel2219]

VeracityLH same!

[@Fanthomas1742]

He got 2 Emmys

[@la196]

I always thought the same thing, he really had such great timing and to me made quite a huge contribution to the show's success:)

[@periwinkleblue2]

@Kurt Gonzalez - I agree. 'Hollywood Bad Boys (and Girls)' always overshadow

[@briandrescher5663]

Two and a Half Men was great, because Sheen and Cryer had fantastic chemistry together on stage

[@sandrapereira5896]

Agree. Loved the show

[@tonileecharles2731]

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

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

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

[@dgillies5420]

Kutcher has a very bland personality and very little stage presence imho. I guess chicks dig him which is why he's on the air ...

Didnt died, Jon saved

I agree; Jon is a fantastic straight-man (who also landed a lot of jokes); with the right comic chauvinist male with stage presence like Alec Baldwin (think: My Best Friend's Girl) the show might have continued to succeed.

Sometimes when i watched two and a half men it was kinda sad alan was basically living in a world where people were cruel to him for no reason but i could tell there were people who loved him deep down his brother charlie did love him and berta was very fond of him and i think judith still kinda loved him and even his mother did love him.

Jon deserves every ounce of love and success he has.

[@420FlowerPower]

I’m truly disappointed that Molly and Andrew didn’t like him and shocked that the onscreen chemistry wasn’t real. Surely, they look back at Pretty In Pink and can now see where Ducky made that film no? #DuckyForever 🥰

[@ankihansen2489]

I can't stand Molly Ringwald, she's just an overrated actress and hasn't done anything memorable since the 80's ended. I think John doesn't deserve an spoiled woman in his life.

[@trexinvert]

In his book, Jon actually mentioned that he hung out with James Spader, mostly.

[@elishabraun196]

It doesn't shock me, as Ringwald was full of herself and she wanted Robert Downey Jr to played Ducky because she had the hots for Robert even though Cryer was perfect for the role

[@Noone9227]

And now you don’t see Molly Ringwald nor Andrew McCarthy. How about that?

I NEVER thought he was gay. He was awesome as a kid and then I fell in love with him all over again when he grew up. Ducky is the best.

[@Wankshaftsbury]

What a nice guy. It must have difficult dealing with Charlie when he went into meltdown, but they go way back and were in Hotshots together before 2 and a half men, so it was nice he was just concerned for him and not looking to bad mouth him or anything like that, eventho Charlie was rude to him.

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.

a lot of drugs will alienate you from people that care about you. Addiction is extremely destructive and not just on your body and health. Relationships get burned as well.

[@claudiabrandt2231]

I find it hysterical that he played Lex Luthor's nephew in Superman 4 and than so much later play Lex himself on Supergirl. He did a great job on that.

[@debbiegann7571]

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.
