well, maybe they will replace him with FEZ next year...

I don't see what all the fuss is about. He started in Hollywood very young. Since he is 19 his parents probably signed his contracts and may have pushed him to keep the money coming in. Now that he is a grown man who has been in Hollywood all his life and seen Charlie Sheen destroy himself, he chooses a different path. Good for him. Charlie made his choices and so has Angus.

I don't mind if he becomes a born-again-Christian, as long as he doesn't shove his beliefs down our throats 24/7, and become a control freak, like Kirk Cameron does.

One of my friends said it best: "You would be scared into becoming a Seventh Day Adventist, too, if you grew up around Charlie Sheen."

I agree that the show is filth, but probably for different reasons than he does.

I realize he's in an ironclad contract, but if he feels he's standing up for what's right, why not break it? What's the worst that could happen? He'd have to give back a few million dollars of his tainted devil money?

The kid makes $350,000 per episode (not to mention syndication and DVD revenue). If he was truly committed to the idea that the show is "filth" from the "enemy," he wouldn't be cashing those checks.

I'm not a fan of the show by any means, but I know it enough to be sure Angus T. Jones would be a hell of a lot easier to replace than Charlie Sheen. They wouldn't even have to come up with a new character; he's bland enough that they could get away with pulling a Dick Sargent.

He may also feel he outgrown the show. And there's many born-again Christians in Hollywood, Willie Aames and Kim Fields are examples...and they don't boast it either.

Forget it. 2.5 Men doesn't need to continue, Just wrap up the show altogether.

Regardless of what one thinks of the show or Angus T. Jones, I admire him for speaking up for what he believes in.

It appears that there's a thin line between "standing for something" and arrogance. Maybe the two aren't mutually exclusive, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of humility in Mr. Jones' statements.

You admire his ability to stand up for that in which he believes; I abhor his biting the hand that has fed, clothed and housed him more than half his life. He just gave a giant middle finger to every member of that ensemble (cast and crew) who has loved him since he was a little boy. I imagine there are many people working on that show who are heartbroken and confused by what he said, from the guy who makes the donut run for the weekly table read all the way up to Chuck Lorre.

Like it or not, Mr. Jones is doing the same thing that got Charlie Sheen fired; he's merely going about it in a non-vulgar, non-debaucherous manner. Like Mr. Sheen, Jones is taking a huge dump on the very thing that has given him the platform he has, and using said platform to discourage people from watching an ad-supported show that feeds hundreds of crew members who are living paycheck to paycheck.

Instead of lashing out at Two and a Half Men, this kid should be grateful it has given him the ability to proselytize to hundreds of thousands of people.

I do see your point.

I think it would have been a lot easier for Angus to keep his mouth shut and continue cashing his $350,000 per episode paychecks than to speak up for his new found beliefs. I give Angus credit for not taking the easy way out.

The show has really gone down hill, can't say I blame him for telling people to stop watching it.

Is he going to resign from the show? If not, he's being a huge hypocrite.

What are they going to do, fire him? They pretty much did that after they killed off Charlie Sheen's character last year. :lol: In the past 2 seasons, he's only been in a handful of episodes, not counting several in which he appeared in a video chat scene for about 1 minute talking to his father. He was getting the Suzanne Somers treatment and he did nothing wrong. Before the whole Charlie Sheen meltdown happened he was in every episode. He really doesn't have much to lose. Plus the writers turned his character into a idiotic pot smoking zombie I can't say that I'm surprised he developed a conscience and wants out.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. He started in Hollywood very young. Since he is 19 his parents probably signed his contracts and may have pushed him to keep the money coming in. Now that he is a grown man who has been in Hollywood all his life and seen Charlie Sheen destroy himself, he chooses a different path. Good for him. Charlie made his choices and so has Angus.Agreed fully. It's a shame that having standards isn't a good enough reason to have an opinion anymore. Now you get mocked instead. Great industry.

Is he going to resign from the show? If not, he's being a huge hypocrite.He can't quit because of his contract. He's probably hoping they break it.

Angus T. Jones Apologizes for "Two and a Half Men" Slam

by Kimberly Nordyke , Sophie A. Schillaci


"Two and a Half Men" star Angus T. Jones has issued a statement regarding his recent comments against the show, in which he called the comedy "filth" and begged viewers to "please stop watching."

"I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," he said in a statement Tuesday. "I never intended that."



He also praised the cast and crew of the show as well as CBS and producer Warner Bros. Television.

"Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked and over the past 10 years who have become an extension of my family," he added.

Sounds like someone told him to say that. lol

I saw Angus Jones being trashed on one of the news comment threads on Yahoo, as a hypocrite, this and that, and other bad, very bad references that can't be repeated here; one poster on there was mocking him for being a virgin...on and on.

But one poster said something I do agree with: 'He's a kid; give him a break'.

He was a child on 90% of the show's run. I guess people criticizing him never did anything dumb when they were 19. I think if he did not embrace Christianity people wouldn't be so mean in their comments. These people are complaining about his money and so forth, so what? He did the work as a minor up until the last year. His apology I feel is quite sincere, I do believe that the cast and crew are people he grew up with and I'm sure he cares about them personally. He was just saying that he had outgrown the show, which objectively is very true they barely use him to keep the "half man" of the title. People saying he crapped on his co-workers jobs are wrong since nobody watches the show because of the kid one way or the other. Now Charlie Sheen did hurt his co-workers employment because he could have easily taken the show down either with his binges or actions that left them deciding to fire him. Losing Sheen could damage the show, losing a seldom used kid that got too old for the role is totally different. They already reduced his role, it makes sense what are they going to do kill the kid off the show?

Good comments. Well put. :)

I've been trying to make some sense to this whole thing. You would think he would have quit or walked away from the show, BEFORE he made these statements.

Yes, that he can't quit because of his contract, and is hoping they break it, or fire him, makes the most sense!

Yea that might be it. He's hoping to get fired.

A source on the show tells Celebuzz, Miley could potentially join the sitcom next season.

I hope the kid has been saving his cash. After shooting his mouth off and then spewing out a half-a$$ed apology, I don't see a lot of people lining up to hire his dumba$$.

He has minimal talent, grew out of his cuteness in a big way, and has now proven that he will bite then hand that feeds him. Someone may have to start learning on how to live on a budget.

HUH???

Regardless of what one thinks of the show or Angus T. Jones, I admire him for speaking up for what he believes in.


I do admire him as well. I think that he is feeling that spiritual conviction. I'm glad he feels it. I'm sure it'll keep him in line. Now, as I am a born again Christian myself I would have advised him to exercise wisdom before going on a pubic rant. There is a scripture that says that it isn't always expedient to give an answer. Maybe he he could have expressed a way to say he isn't pleased or it is more difficult because of spiritual principals but is still thankful to the colleagues for giving him a home and a place of work. That is where Kirk's error was with Growing Pains. He flat out judged some people behind the scenes but realized that he was in error too. I'm glad Angus attempted to correct the matter and wish him the best.

BTW, I'm starting to lose interest in the show a little bit myself.

I fully agree with this. But to clarify, I don't think Kirk Cameron ever called "Growing Pains" a filthy show and told people to quit watching it. But I suppose I can see the comparison. And like Kirk, Angus realized that he did come off as just having a "holier-than-thou" judgment on the show and apologized. I am glad for his decision to follow Christ and I respect both Kirk and Angus for that, and for their public stance for Jesus. I am sure they both have some beliefs and have done some things I don't agree with, but I definitely agree with them in their faith in Jesus and I am glad they have made a stand for Him. And I trust He will bless them both in their careers.
