Charlie Sheen To Front New Series Based On 'Anger Management'


This sounds perfect for him!

Charlie Sheen has agreed a deal to star in a new series, which is based on the 2003 comedy Anger Management.

The troubled actor revealed the news today, joking that the role is quite ironic:
"I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept"

Charlie is set for his big TV comeback, playing a self-help instructor played in the film by Jack Nicholson.  The show is being produced by Mad Men producer Lionsgate, but no executive producer has signed on for the series just yet.

Charlie said he is grateful to have some creative control again, after being fired from the highly succesful Two and A Half Men: "It also provides me with real ownership in the series, a certain amount of creative control ."
