In the 2000s, Sheen became best known for his television roles. He replaced Michael J. Fox in “Spin City” and his performance earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy and then starred in “Two and a Half Men” which earned him several Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations.
He most recently starred in the FX comedy series “Anger Management,” which concluded its 100-episode run in 2014.
Back in 2010, Sheen was the highest paid actor on television and earned US$1.8 million per episode of “Two and a Half Men.”
Sheen’s personal life has made headlines, including reports of alcohol and drug abuse and marital problems, as well as allegations of domestic violence.
His contract for “Two and a Half Men” was terminated by CBS and Warner Bros. in March 2011. Sheen subsequently went on tour. On November 17, 2015, Sheen publicly revealed that he was HIV-positive, having been diagnosed about four years earlier.
Since then, Sheen has not had any acting assignments both on TV and on films although there are reports that he will be appearing in at least two films to be released this year including the TV movie “Mad Families,” and the film “Nine Eleven.”
