[post_page_title]Walden Schmidt (Two and a Half Men)[/post_page_title]
We’re not going to go into how Charlie Sheen left Two and a Half Men – there’s nothing left to say about it. Instead, let’s focus on the man who replaced him. When Sheen split, Ashton Kutcher of That ’70s Show fame stepped in. Kutcher played billionaire tech entrepreneur Walden Schmidt in the show’s last four seasons. There was nothing offensively wrong about the character or the actor but… it just felt so unnatural, as if he was shoehorned into the story due to outside circumstances. Even Kutcher admitted end-result Walden wasn’t the character he’d signed up to play.
