Who can imagine “two and a half” without Alan Harper, the depositary of John Karir, alongside Charlie Charlie Charlie today? If we look back in the 12 -season comic race, it is clear that the show has become a huge success due to the chemistry actors on the screen. The casting was ideal for these types of characters, and was one of the creators in the series, also known as the king of comic play-pivotal role in obtaining Cryer despite some severe decline from CBS, where the show was broadcast from 2003 to 2015.

During the casting process for “two and a half men”, the network showed from the beginning that they did not want John Kerir. Not to test or the star or have any relationship to the width at all, if they can help him. Lori has been open about this condition in many interviews since then, and in one of them gave WWNY-TV, the creator explained: “When we were throwing” two and a half men “,” CBS, CBS executives were determined on one thing-they didn’t want to employ John Keer.

The veteran television producer added in another interview (via the American TV archive) that the network was accurately objected to the actor because he was in many TV pilots who failed and did not make it broadcast. However, Lori insisted on bringing him to the test because he knew his talent as the two did before before, and because the actor’s representatives helped him persuade him that Cryer would be excellent for this particular role. So, in the face of one warning from CBS, Lori trusted his intestine, brought Cryer to the test, and the rest was history.

Despite the troubled and problems with problems, Kerir remained with Shin to eventually get out of “two and a half men”, and the dynamic of the screen remained mostly intact (at least for American viewers), as much as their characters went-and Shin was shot for his wonderful behavior. Alan and Charlie have built a strong relationship over the years, and even if we could see where many of their interactions turn from one tendency most of the time, they usually succeeded in putting a smile on our faces at least once during each episode. The offensive joke back and calm has often has become ridiculous between the two, it is very early, but it also provided the basic quality of the show that ordinary viewers can always rely on.
