Is Charlie Sheen's career over?
 
He's always been one of my favorite actors. Whether it's a comedic role or a dramatic one, he always makes a big impression on you. Hell, even with Foodfight!, where he clearly didn't give a sh'it at all, you still remember how amusingly embarrassing it was to watch him in it. But like most actors who live a risky lifestyle, the curtain closes on him sooner or later.

Even today, he's still haunted by his meltdown behind the scenes of Two And A Half Men. He definitely had a lot of time to prevent his firing from happening, but he kept showing up drunk and mouthing off, so Chuck Lorre finally had enough. (Though it has to be said I think the way Lorre treated his character's departure was extremely immature either way, and disrespectful to the audience)

There was a small glimmer of hope with Anger Management. He got to rock the TV screens once more. Sure, young women getting hot and bothered by him is a little more of a stretch this time, but his wit and charming screen presence still makes it work somehow.

But after two major cast members left and the network treated the show like dirt, it was done. The most notable thing he's done after that is the 9/11 movie with Whoopi Goldberg, and I don't mean that in a good way.

What kind of role would it take for him to resurrect his career? Personally, I think it's time for him to divert from the self-referential roles he's gotten in later years. I mean, I love Charlie Harper and Charlie Goodson, but if he wants to be taken seriously at this point he'll have to try something different. Remember when he played a fireman turned serial killer in Under Pressure? Wasn't the greatest movie ever, but he acted the hell out of that role. It shows if he's taken out of his comfort zone, he can deliver something quite special.

Yeah, it's kinda a shame. The comedic stuff has always been really, really good. The dramatic stuff, at least occasionally decent. Versatile actor who can do a lot. I miss the goofy stuff the most, which I guess is good because that'd be the "easiest" for him to get back into with all the insanity his life became.

Maybe its because he's HIV-positive?

It's been over. And it's his own doing.

I wonder if he's been able to stay clean and sober? At aged 54, he could still have a career if he wanted to. He's HIV positive, but with treatment he may not get AIDS.

I hope so. He doesn't look right to me. I don't want to see his face on the screen but good luck to him.

If it is over, it is by his own hand.
I liked his early films, but his treatment of women and others (he once threatened Ashton Kutcher via a tweet) has alienated him from me.

I hate the thought of Sheen's career being over...the man has talent, but he definitely needs to re-invent himself.
