'Men' Actor Angus Jones Says His Show Is 'Filth'

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

OK. Lorre's hit show "Two and a Half Men" may have moved on from Charlie Sheen. Now it's being attacked by another of its stars.

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Angus Jones is the half a man referred to in the show's title. He debuted on the sitcom as a nine-year-old. Still on it today at age 19, but says he wishes he wasn't.

(SOUNDBITE OF VIDEO)

MONTAGNE: That's from a video Jones made about his new Christian faith. In it, he goes on to say that you, quote, "cannot be a true, God-fearing person and be on a raunchy sitcom like 'Two and a Half Men.'"

INSKEEP: Mr. Jones says he's stuck with a contract to appear on the show for another year, earning about $350,000 per episode. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
