Why can't the show just replace him with Emilo with his hair dyed black I mean I have seen tv shows were the main person left and they replaced them with someone that looks nothing like the main person. I wish I could think of examples.....

And I think Chuck Lorre could rewrite it with Charlie out he has some impressive skills.
I imagine they thought about Charlie not returning and planned for this.

I think they need another strong lead though I don't think Jon Cryer and Angus Jones are strong enough leads to keep the show going.

Chuck Lorre is pretty funny. He publishes his vanity cards online. This, from a couple of weeks ago:
I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food. I make sure to get plenty of rest. I see my doctor once a year and my dentist twice a year. I floss every night. I've had chest x–rays, cardio stress tests, EKG's and colonoscopies. I see a psychologist and have a variety of hobbies to reduce stress. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't have crazy, reckless sex with strangers.

If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed.

That is in the same vein as a stand-up up comic quip:

Life is not fair!
How/Why is Keith Richards still alive?

People can we review Mister Richards' lifestyle & habits?!?
Chain-smoking, years of alcohol and abusing a pharmacy of illicit drugs, complete blood transfusions to "cure" heroin addiction, allegedly snorted his father's ashes, how many sex partners, brain surgery after falling out of a tree...

Yep, Charlie Sheen - LIFE IS NOT FAIR!!!
:flame:

Anyone seen this?

This kind of rant is reminiscent of the Tom Cruise scientology monologue.

I guess, acting (to me) is the ability to take on another personality entirely, to totally transform into a being other than yourself. That is the art, the craft of acting, not being a pretty face who has a repertoire of canned responses.

Maybe that's just me.
I think acting is more than just "totally transforming". Many people are quite popular without losing themselves in a character. Like him or not, William Shatner comes to mind. If someone's real personality fits a role, why use someone that is faking it.

they're called character actors, and some of the most enduring and popular actors of all time played basically the same role. Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Tommy Lee Jones jump to mind.

There's nothing wrong with playing the same role very, very well. :)

While you're at it, don't forget to consult your neighborhood cats on the subject.

I just love it when pop culture cliches collide ...

You drank the Kool aid there. I think he will do fine. People said the same thing about Iron Man.
