In a new interview with TV Guide, Chuck Lorre says he had no choice but to shut down production on “Two and a Half Men” during then-star Charlie Sheen's troubles, explaining, “You can’t do that much cocaine and work.”
“I didn’t want to be writing a sitcom while my friend died. Or worse, hurt someone else,” says Lorre.
He adds, “We couldn’t be complacent. There was a tragedy unfolding right in front of us. There was violence and blackouts. On a certain level, if you’re looking the other way, you’re responsible.”
Lorre also talks about bringing in Ashton Kutcher to replace Sheen.
“I thought, why not find out if we can do it? If we failed, what have we failed at? Making a sitcom? Then it became exciting. We got to do something none of us ever dreamed of doing: We got to end a series and start a new series in 20 minutes.”
