- Jon Cryer was bitten by the acting bug early, and achieved success with his starring turn in John Hughes' "Pretty in Pink." But there was a long period before he had a hit again with "Two and a Half Men," one of the most successful sitcoms ever. Cryer talks about his new memoir with correspondent Ben Tracy.
Two and a Half Men was great, because Sheen and Cryer had fantastic chemistry together on stage
Agree. Loved the show
After considering a multitude of comedic actors, Crier got the
role. Let's face facts
shall we? ANYONE
with comedic talent
could have easily followed Charlie's
extrodindany talents
in Comedy, acting, etc. Jon played a
supporting role, as did
the other cast members of 21/2 men.
Rather than reach out
a helping hand when a
friend is in need...Jon
chose to take an entirely different approach...writing a
"Tell All book" about
Charlie Sheen. Backfired big-time Jon!! Sheen FANS were
and still are infuriated
with the back stabbing, unmitigated
lack of ethics, taking
advantage of his colleagues misfortune!!
Hanging onto as much
of the Media Spotlight
from a fellow human
beings downfall. Wasn't a manager
employed by Jon
who should have perhaps mentioned
that this was so wrong
Dear Jon on so many
levels??? Hmmmm?
Are you WINNING JON?? TLC
Watch the movie "Hot Shots" to see how they first worked together, which produced the idea for Two and a Half Men.
Planes deserves to get a straight to video release not in theatres
I wish he'll come back to voice dusty again in cars the disney plus show
Jon Cryer is the kind of guy you root for.
Troubled Sole yes!!
Definitely
no
I almost had sex with him in 1992. It was great.
You mean gay,not a guy?
Charlie and John's timing and chemistry was the soul of the show. Never really liked the last 4 seasons after Charlie's exit. I still go back and watch some old episodes and they are as much fun. Seriously good old days.
Totally agree with that. Watched every season with Charlie in the past year even though I have seen them all before.
Ehh Jon was also great on his own and people never acknowledge that, he kept the show funny even when Charlie left
The last four years they depended on John a lot. Because Kutcher wasn't good at all on the show.
yeah me too.. especially those days we can joke literally about anything and no one was offended. i miss the old two and a half men
Gotta throw in their mom in the comedic chemistry success. I love hearing their 3 way jabs showing their complicated relationships. It was great. The last 4 years lacked that fire.
He's aged really well. He looks better now than he did in the show. Wow!
I agree :)
His odd lot looks make him look like a caricature of rubber faced Jim Carrey, another marginal "actor" who for some reason got breaks and should have disappeared long ago ... Cryer a river ...
Too bad Sheen can't say the same.
@@SovereignStatesman drugs
MadEzra64 RUBBISH HE LOOKS HORRENDOUS😂😂😂
Jon Cryer is a fantastic guy, no pretentions, how refreshing! he's an incredible actor who played his part to perfection!
He speaks like Alan. Alot of actors change the way they talk for their roles but when they sound exactly like their character in real life, it's just so satisfying lol
Omg that's so true. As a matter of fact even Sheen speaks like Charlie Harper off screen, I've seen a couple of interviews of him that way.
Exactly lol their real life looks exactly like how they're in the show especially the sarcastic but sometimes serious fight between Charlie and Alan/Jon 😂
Parsons speaks like Sheldon in interviews.
Very refreshing. Seems like a genuine, humble person that has been drastically underrated as an actor. Thank you for all your iconic roles!
He seems so nice he deserves everything that makes him happy
Yea I agree.
He's my second cousin. I'm told he really is nice.
Joseph Scott lol. I bet
He really is and I really am told that. I've never met him.
Usually people who lie about that kind of stuff don't say, "I've never met him" while paying them a simple compliment. Usually they go on to brag like they're best buds.
Jon Cryer got the last laugh. He made millions on men.
700k$ per episode since season 5
And kept it until Sheen
Never liked the guy and I thought he should be more supportive with Charlie who by the way ask for him personally to play the part which make him famous and rich 🤔
@@nelsonportes8842 turncoat he is…
So your saying he is gay.
I wish we could’ve had 12 seasons of this show with Charlie on it
MrMekmek29 in my universe we had its 15 season with sheen in it
As long as it's in reruns all the time, it feels like the show is still on to me. It's timeless.
@@parvati8875 would've loved that,2 and a half men would've gone done as one of the best TV series if that had happened
@@JT-lt5gr Exactly.
I loved Alan with Charlie, together they made the show, when Charlie left it was never the same, it actually went down the hill, it became a completely different show, and not a good one at that.
He is charmingly geeky. Totally the opposite of Charlie Sheen. Thats why the show was such a success.
+Robin Kristiansen without charlie the show was crap. Fact.
KochisarliHD7 that isn't a fact at all. That's your opinion
Krazy Muzik, it ended *because* it was crap. It's a fact.
KochisarliHD7 it could still be on if Charlie wasn't such a megalomaniac
So true
He deserves to be happy, rich and sucessfull.
Marcus Tube most people do.
@@dafadill430 yeah, but he work it for and took risks that the normal human wouldn't do it. Do you think success come easy?
@@mehdiel2959 it does for some
I never knew Jon was so much like Alan in real life. Just a genuine, bit awkward but lovely guy. Hope to see more of him in the future.
Lol nah Jon is actually a good guy, Alan is a terrible person
He’s so down to earth. One person who came out on the other side of Hollyweird. Kudos to you Jon.
I really miss the show. Aston Kutcher is a great guy, but TAAHM with Charlie is unbeatable.
you lost me at Ashton kutcher is a great..
Charlie was the gin, Jon was the tonic.
And so say all of us.
He would have been nothing without Charlie!!!
@@stevenstair1068 Like Jack Klugman needed Tony Randall, Charlie Sheen needed Jon Cryer.
@@cityhawk just never been a fan of this guy.
Good one. Happens to be my favorite drink.
It saddens me that there is such distance between Cryer and Sheen after all the years they worked together. Sheen should realize that in the end he was falling apart and he shouldn't hold his cast members hostage for his mistakes....They created such memorable magic for so many years, how can Sheen be bitter about something that was between him an the company not him and Cryer? Was and Outstanding show and like Married with Children I wish it would never have ended.... God bless all of you for the joy that you gave all of you viewers and I hope that you do some good with what you earned from it...
But Charlie did apologise though so I don't think it's a case of on really bad terms now, I just think it'd be tricky to work with such a person even though they had such great chemistry on screen
Addicts destroy everything and everyone in there wake Its devastating 💔👹
@@lovewhitey4462He apologized and He quit being an addict in 2017. and please dont say that about addicted people they have a hard life as it is.
He actually looks better without hair 👍🏼
I'm finding him a lot more attractive now - he has a gorgeous smile
mark olivares he had to have hair product put on for every episode as was balding early and when show ended he decided to keep the bald look.
He actually looks better with that bald monk look and having beard and stache!
True, he looks more manly and good looking now.
Very cute without hair. Killer smile
The best part about this show was both the actors had traits of their character, which made it natural.
The joy lasted 8 seasons! Thank you for the memories!
I have ALWAYS loved Jon Cryer and had a major crush on him when I saw him in Pretty In Pink! I am so glad he is with Lisa Joyner I think she is so beautiful inside and out.
Such an appealing, natural guy and a great comedy actor. I fell in love with him way back in Pretty in Pink. Thank you, Jon.x
As far as being mistaken for Matthew Broderick, everybody likes Ducky better than Ferris Bueler.
Never knew he had blue eyes.
I would love to see him on another sitcom or films.
Not sure, I think I would always see Alan Harper
I just said the same. Maybe we will. Ed O'Neil did it.
Wow, he aged amazingly.
Not really, always a goofy odd looking being, looks his age for sure ...
@@tapper701 he does not look like he is 54
@@bigbootyenjoyer Too me he was 45 for ten years lol.
Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen in TAHM were pure comedy gold.
He actually held the whole show together through the good and bad
Why does he put so much effort in faking that he has hair when he look this good bald?
??
+Malthe Stollesen I think it's a reference to the Two and a Half men episode when Alan used spray on hair.
+Jason Pham Because its the people who do his hair for TV that decide.....I am in films/TV and know this....many times they do my hair in a way I DON'T LIKE IT. But its their job not mine!....so Jon's says so be it!
+Torben Otten NO...YOURE 100% WRONG. I am in films/TV and see this all the time, HIS HAIR STYLIST on the show do his hair....he doesnt make those decisions! He has hair. Its just too short.
He doesn't the show does it's the character
never looked gay.....dont see the Broderick resemblence....dont care if he is jewish or not....great actor..
fantasysports steve when he was young he kinda looked like mathew
He NEVER resembled Mattew what's his name.
I love him in Pretty in pink !!!
resemblance*
fantasysports steve definitely seemed gay....looks like really young Broderick....why would you? And I agree 😂
Wow I love how open and honest he is about anything
Another movie that was good was hiding out..he is a good actor.
I'm glad he was able to make it Hollywood. I loved his performance in Pretty in Pink, and he seems like a really good dude.
I have to say- that show " Two and a Half Man", would never succeed without Alan/ Jon Cryer. :) Just think about it....all the funniest scenes involved him, and we practically laughing over his acting mostly. He is so incredible talented, creative and funny... he can sing well, dance, Etc. the personage he played..is so complicated, but Jon have done a magnificent job on his role, it felt sooo real! Bravo ! I was just disappointed the show ended up, I would really love to see more of it :)
It’s June 2021 and I’m lucky enough to be watching Jon, Charlie, Melanie and all in their phenomenal show 2 1/2. (For the first time)I applaud J.C. for doing this interview & look fwd to re-watching Pretty In Pink eventually.On a side note, a big thank you for the homeless cottages you and your wife funded. God bless y’all.
John Cryer is such a talented actor. 😊. Love this guy
Cryer's Wife: "I thought he was going to be my new gay best friend."
I'm ded.
💀🤣🤣
I want to see him in a different role. As the bad guy, the criminal master mind, serial killer or som'... I have seen him in Two and a half men acting being mad, furious or just wants to some evil/funny thing. I know it's not just me, I can see the potential in this guy to look trully scary, manly, and serious about killing someone.
+Miguel Castro yeah, that episode where Alan starts the chiropractic ponzi scheme really showed us that he could pull off a villain if he wanted to.
+Miguel Castro yes he does too but....you need offers first.
Acting wise he could pull it off. But I think he's really have to work on his voice. I mean cmon with his natural voice...he's not scarring anyone
Tu Padre like a joker
AS CHARLIE WOULD'VE SAID I UNDERSTAND !!!!!
He is such a great aactor., down to earth guy....Love him💕💕💕💕
I have always been a fan of Jon. His performance in Pretty In Pink is so memorable. Although not defined by that scene, it certainly stands out. While others may feel the ending was appropriate, the underdog in me had hoped he would have gotten the girl. Hope he gets some more solid roles.
Jon Cryer is soooo good!! Ducky changed the game with that character and inspired soo many kids to come out of their shells. 100% a legend.
Two and Half men stop being the two and half men when Charlie left . Charlie was and is and always be the spirit of Two and half men period . He’s fun to watch .suck it heaters
Yasser Martinez dude not only that but hair also grew up so how they gonna call it two and a half men
Damn heaters
When i first saw Two and a half Men I loved it bc of Jon Cryer. He made me laugh and laugh. Thanks buddy. I can identify with the character. Especially in rge beginning of the series. Later he got moochie and more selfish. But I still laughed. One of all time favorites bc of Cryer
Love John Cryer! Without him being the whipping boy on two and 1/2 men the show wouldn’t have been what it was and is today! He’s a very intelligent gentleman and I hope he goes far in life!
Jon Cryer is a great human being. There are not many people on this earth that is a nice as him.
The Next Generation Don Knotts. Every Generation Needs a Genuine Don Knotts Character. It's Not a Dis, It's a Pure Compliment. Thank You John Cryer.
He's not Don Knotts. Cryer is great at what he does, don't get me wrong. He can't hold a candle to what the late Don Knotts did on Andy Griffith and Three's Company .
Jon was my heart!I looked forward to the show!
love this guy...
I bet you do, HA! GAAAAAAAAAAY
All success credits for 2 n a half men to Jon.....thanks for a great show....sheen too
Jon - you said "for a guy like me to achieve that" ... you don't give yourself enough credit. I love your acting and enjoyed it much over the years! A guy "like you" worked hard, fought hard and deserves a lot of credit 😊😀🤗👍👍
I loved Duckie! Singing Otis was classic!!
Always enjoyed his work . He reminds me of a Don Knotts or Art Carney . Both considered support roles but achieved stardom in their own right . Well deserved . 👏 Could not imagine those 3 shows without them .
Ugh I partially understand why test audience would boo, since during that time girls were still yearning for the rich nice boy to sweep them off their feet - you know, the Cinderella's prince archetype, and Duckie's character was not that. But Ducky was so much more!!! Why oh why girls of the 80s, why couldn't you fall for the outgoing Duckie???? Why boo??? I WOULD HAVE YELLED HECK YEAH IF I WAS THERE.
azmariah94 ....a second release, to include the opposite ending.....I would love to have the option of picking the duckie ending. I wish they would!
Every character on that show was perfectly cast. I especially love Berta and the mother.
I always liked this guy👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Alan was the best character on the show, not Charlie.
Berta was second
I just wanna see him do more sophisticated roles, like a villain in a Jon wick movie...... Just my personal opinion
He's Lex Luthor in Supergirl
He is honestly not the right actor to fit the role of lex luthor
Nah, I like him in comedies. He could have played Seth Rogan's role well in Neighbors.
Jon Cryer is one of the best actors that we've ever seen on TV. I think Sheen actually learned a lot about timing and delivery from watching Jon. He's a phenom on stage too.
He was really great in Hiding Out. That is such an underrated movie.
Yes, I agree! I love that movie so much.
#joncryer got the most meaningful recognition when his wife spoke about him, at that moment all I saw was a golden boy! Very nice to be loved and appreciated by the wife, nothing else matters!
I don't know man i always felt like Jon Cryer is the most talented actor in that show...
What a genuinely interesting guy, sounds like the coolest guy to have a talk with too was not shy about addressing the hotter topics about his career.
Cryer has such a positive attitude. I hope he gets a blockbuster
I loved the character of Alan Harper on Two and a half Men. It's a landmark show
Dont stop Alan Harper, dont stop...
TAHM was such a big success because Sheen and Cryer weren't really acting, they were just being themselves.
His character was good during the first few seasons but then they made him too lame
Kind of agree with you, his stupidity became annoying.
It makes sense. When u become more broken u will become cheaper and more annoying. It's natural
I agree. The show got raunchier with Ashton Kutcher and they really changed Alan-and made him strange. Cryer is a great actor and seems like a nice guy.
He seems a really nice guy and I certainly never thought he was gay. Very good comedy actor too. Good on you Jon.
Great comedian, and an amazing human-being! And I always found him so cute!
A nice guy who kept working hard at his craft and made good. Good outcome.
Met a lot of celebrities while working at the Four Seasons hotel in DC, circa 1989. Jon Cryer was one of the nicest ones I encountered.
Gotta love how Charlie and Alan are a sharp contrast in the same way sheen and cryer have a sharp contrast of their real life personas and lives
Loved “Pretty in Pink”. Fell in love with John Cryer & have remained a loyal fan of “ 2 1/2 Men” 4ever. John ranks right up there with John Ritter & his physical comedy genius!! The dance scene in record store from “Pretty” is great. The episode in 2 1/2 Men where Berta’s daughter is pregnant is AWESOME. The odd noise that John makes @ the site of a pregnant lady & his physical doings when the ironing board collapses still makes me laugh out loud. Can’t think of the season(1 or 2) Episode (13 or 17) oh well I’m 84 yrs young so memory gaps happen. Rock on John Cryer & your physical comedy genius is greatly appreciated! My daughter gave me the series 4 my 80th BDay. Comedy at its best at any age. God bless U & yours 4ever!!! Looking👀 forward to old & new from “Team Cryer”. Hugs, drugs & much adoration 👱♀️
That’s awesome I like him as Alan on Two and a Half Men!! 💯🤣🤣
Love you Ducki JON CRYER God bless you and your family. ALOHA
Jon cryer and charlie sheen was good together in 2 and a half men. It just wasn't the same afther charlie sheen was sacked. Jon cryer was the only reason I carried on watching it.
Regardless, we love u Alan. :) U made the show awesome.
He's really Alan Harper
Two and a Half Men was immediately ruined when Kutcher started.
I SO agree with this statement. I have no IDEA what ANYONE sees in that ugly annoying idiot. He is a complete narcissist like most actors but Hollywood keeps choosing him for roles and it's annoying. WHY?
Always liked watching Jon cryer on two and a half men.
I'm glad I got to see him progress as an actor when I was a teenager..like I did Patrick Dempsey. Fun growing up watching your favorites.
such a brilliant funny actor
This is October, 2022
And I am 16
I discovered" Pretty in pink " last month
Jesus christ,,, I can't stop falling in love with you Duckie ....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gonna watch all of your movies
I wanna talk to you one day
I love you Jon
Jon was Jerry Lewis to Martin, when Martin was done so were the laughs, Charlie was the Martin.
Love JC....love his honesty, sweetness and charm! Thank you!
He actually has a David Spade look and mannerism about him that I'm sure is something and that they don't want people to know about.
How can anyone forget him as 'wash-out' on hot shots ..... shape my childhood that film and still think it's funny today
I remember that!👍
The guy is an awesome actor! Very funny and professional!
Looks like Roland from Tears for Fears.
Johnny Justice
THATS IT!!! I KNEW HE LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE......WELL THAT SOLVES THAT 😂
YES!!! Somebody else saw that, haha.. Good! I thought I was the only one :P
I was just thinking the same thing!!!
Johnny Justice ha ha perfect!
Damn I kept wondering who the tears for fears guy looked like!!! Thanks.
Holy cow.... is like he was playing his own character in the show 😂😂😂
What a humble and talented guy - glad he is doing so well!
Wow, he dosnt look like 50 at all iwud of sead ~40
52 TODAY
The show is hilarious!!! All of them are so on point 🙌🏽 I love Alan’s and Charlie’s mother 🤩 I guess Alan couldn’t be replaced!
I love this guy!
thank you Jon for all the laughs, definitely one of the best shows ever on tv.
Interesting interview
The only actor on Two and a Half Men to appear in every episode of the show.... that's just mind blowing!!
Jon Cryer never got enough credit for the success of this show. His comedic timing with Sheen was perfect. Just one man’s opinion.
I agree wholeheartedly. He was the reason I watched the show.
VeracityLH same!
He got 2 Emmys
I always thought the same thing, he really had such great timing and to me made quite a huge contribution to the show's success:)
@Kurt Gonzalez - I agree. 'Hollywood Bad Boys (and Girls)' always overshadow
The only guy who came out of two and a half men like a sane person.
that is what I said
+Anton H He wasn't sane in it tho, haha
+Tyrell Newmann that's what she said
+Anton H Sorry Anton...I have been on that show as an extra and know this, he isn't gay. He has 1 x wife and 1 present wife and 2 kids...he's fine. HE'S JUST A GREAT ACTOR WHO CAN PLAY GAY.........that's why they call it ACTING.
+LostJak yes that's what she said.
Berta be like: " Hey Zippy, what happened to your hair?"😅😛
LOL... I love this!
His hair was sprayed on during his time on Two and a half men
Lol
I'm dead
txdraw no it wasn‘t, search for older interviews with him
If anyone deserved the succes then its jon . His acting is astonishing so as his personality .
+clockner little Jake and Berta as well !
Find that hard to believe!
he was not acting, in "two men..".. this is who he is.
He didn't voice dusty crophopper in the film planes 2013
agree
He is such a good actor, and it seems like a fantastic person. I'm glad he's doing well.
Agree!
@@Clintsessentials yeah 👍
Closeted
6 weeks until he kissed her ?
Yeah, he plays himself every time. REAL good acting chops on this one🙄
@@CaptainJirk when I first read that sentence, I thought it was a compliment. You really should work better when you’re being sarcastic.
2022 and I’m still binge-watching episodes of Two & A Half Men! Jon’s timing and physical comedy was the absolute BEST! 🖤
2023 and I watch at least 3 episodes s night. Love this show puts a smile on your face, and brings joy. I love both Charlie and Alan they bounce of one antoher really well. Alan was still great when Charlie left the show it wasn't the same but they tried and Alan still delivers 👏
me too in 2023
me also watching in 2023
@@shaunmacready701I've been watching it while I fall asleep for a few months now, every time it gets to the end of season 8 I start it over. Show wasn't good at all once it wasn't him and Charlie together
