Jon Cryer on Writing About Charlie Sheen in His Memoir - Late Night with Seth Meyers

[@Jayremy89]

Jon and Charlie were like Yin and Yang of performances. They made the perfect balance of feedback between actors on a show. If Charlie is straight with his life again, and Jon is good, they show both play a role together in something. Be it movie, show, animation, comedy skits. Etc. That show was golden with both of them.

[@gman8230]

Idk jon has said multiple times he's not sure about ever working with or even letting Charlie back into his life...but who knows. Would be nice to see.

[@AllYouNeedIsLove601]

I think Jon Cryer was the best part of that show, he is truly an amazing actor and comedian. Charlie Sheen is great actor as well and to be honest when he left the show it lost something that Ashton unfortunately just could not match but at the same time Charlie is an outspoken pompous jerk with a bad attitude and is now paying for all his indiscretions. So if Jon writes the TRUTH about Charlie in his book then so be it and Charlie is not denying it.

[@FallingGalaxy]

+DoitinBarbados All true, apart from the thing about Sheen being a great actor. He pretty much plays himself in everything. Doesn't really take acting.

[@timthompson8297]

Great actor? LOL. My ass. Usually he just plays himself. That isn't acting.

[@sunshinewater4659]

I thought higher of Cryer than to use a small and very difficult part of Charlie's life as a selling point of his book.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

"small and very difficult part of Charlie's life" Charlie put all the people around him through a lot of stress for years. If Charlie didn't want that written about it in a _coworker's_ book, he shouldn't have voluntarily taken all those drugs that affected his judgment at work.

[@DarthRushy]

Personally, I thought Charlie in the later seasons came across as a mean-spirited idiot sometimes, I much preferred the early Charlie. I think that's just how he was written as Chuck Lorre began to hate him more and more(culminating in the psychotic Charlie in the finale).
