  • Martin Sheen: I Became a "Fanatic" Over Charlie's Drug Use | Today's News: Our Take | 5/28/2008
    In an upcoming magazine interview, Martin Sheen opens up about his son Charlie Sheen's drug addiction and how he intervened to help him. The elder Sheen says he became "fanatic" in his efforts to help his son, explaining, "Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic."Sheen also details how he learned the specifics of Charlie's abuse, divulging that it was only when he went to pay the hospital bill that he learned the extent of things, says MSNBC. "In paying the bill, I got to see why he was in there. He'd consumed an illegal substance; he was on probation.... This was a criminal matter. And so that was the wedge; that was the leverage I had. That is what I took to the court.... It was the only way I got him."Martin Sheen, who has suffered from alcoholism, turned to Alcoholics Anonymous to help Charlie: "I only got involved with AA when I was trying desperately to find a way to help Charlie, because I didn’t have any skills." The details of the father-son relationship ... read more

  • Love on the Set of Two and a Half Men | Today's News: Our Take | 9/21/2007
    Melanie Lynskey may have driven off the set of Two and a Half Men, but when the sitcom celebrates its 100th episode, she'll be back as Charlie’s stalker Rose, and apparently for more than a pit stop. At the CBS Monday Night Lineup Premiere Party on Sept. 19, Men costar Marin Hinkle (who plays Judith Harper) revealed that in the milestone episode, Charlie will realize his true passion for his stalker. "He goes to seek her out to tell her how he feels about her, and there’s a surprise to how she handles it. I’m sure she will be back for many episodes. The way they left it had a wonderful dot-dot-dot."Lynskey is not the only guest star appearing on the comedy in its first six episodes. Janeane Garofalo appears as one of Alan's romantic mistakes, Ming Wen will be one of Charlie’s objects of affection, and much to Holland Taylor’s delight, Robert Wagner will come back to romance her character, Evelyn Harper. "I’ve had Martin Sheen and Robert Wagner as my lo... read more
  • It was my understanding that ... | Matt Roush | 8/24/2007
    Question: It was my understanding that when The West Wing was first going into production, the role of the president was somewhat peripheral to the activities of his staff: that he would be sort of an unseen (or infrequently seen) presence. But when Martin Sheen got the role, it shifted the gravitational center of the show so that President Bartlet was at the center. The staff then orbited the president, as it would be in the real West Wing. I'm wondering if you think, as I do, that Sam Waterston is capable of similarly "pulling rank" as the new district attorney on Law & Order. Answer: You may be right. At the very least, it will be refreshing to see a real actor in the DA role again. Here's what Dick Wolf had to say at the TCA press tour when asked about Jack McCoy (aka Sam Waterston) getting promoted for the new season: "Sam is not going to be the pragmatist that the elected politicians have been. He is also going to be somebody who goes through changes in his own attitude because he ... read more
