The public fall of Charlie Sheen, who will take a break from his career to seek treatment, will affect not only his own bank account, he’s currently the highest-paid actor in American television. Warner Brothers, which produces and distributes"Two and a Half Men," estimates a loss of at least US$ 250 million on account of halting the productions. And that’s not taking into account the losses related to advertisements aired during breaks of the show, which can cost more than $ 200,000 for 30 seconds.
* However, neither Warner nor CBS, which broadcasts "Two and a Half Men" in the U.S., are thinking about firing Charlie, since he is singled out in surveys as the primary reason for the success of the show, which has an average audience 14.7 million viewers per episode. Now all it’s left is to hope Charlie gets his act together!
