After twelve seasons on air, CBS‘ hit sitcom Two and a Half Men wrapped early last year. When the show first premiered in 2003, we were introduced to Alan Harper (John Cryer) and Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) after Alan moved himself and his young son into his bachelor brother’s beach-front home. For over a decade, we watched Alan, Charlie and Alan’s young son Jake, (portrayed by Angus T. Jones) as they dealt with their new living situation, Jake’s transition into his teen years, and everything in between. At its peak, the show was so wildly popular that in 2010, at the age of 17, Jones became highest paid child actor in television history, making $300,000 per episode.
Still, everything wasn’t all gravy on the Two and Half Men set. Aside from the controversy surrounding Charlie Sheen’s exit from the show, Angus T. Jones also stirred the pot with some comments he made back in 2012. In a video posted to a religious website called The Forerunner Chronicles, Jones said, “If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I’m on Two and a Half Men and I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth.” Though Jones apologized for his comments shortly thereafter, he ended up leaving the series at the end of the 10th season, Jones made his last appearance on the show during the series finale. Since then Jones has been laying low, and if his IMDB page is any indication, it looks like he is taking a break from acting indefinitely.
