Not so long ago, Chuck Lorre’s relationship with Charlie Sheen had soured so much the TV producer dropped a piano on Sheen’s character in the Two and a Half Men finale. But now, less than a decade later, Lorre and Sheen are collaborating again: The actor has a recurring part in Bookie, Lorre’s new Max comedy, debuting on Thursday, November 30. “I was hopeful that Charlie was in a good place and up for it,” Lorre told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. “I called his agent… they put me in touch with Charlie, and I said, ‘Here’s a funny idea.’” Nothing was funny, however, about Sheen’s 2011 media blitz, in which the actor lobbed countless insults Lorre’s way after the Two and a Half Men co-creator called out Sheen’s substance abuse in a vanity card in one episode of the CBS sitcom.
