Main Cast Charlie, 46 (5/4/4/3/5) Sheen as Charles Francis "Charlie" Harper, a bachelor who tended to bully his younger brother Alan, whom he loved, although he would have never admitted it, and usually took pleasure in any dismay or trouble he runs into. He was the opposite of Alan: lucky, brave, and wealthy. He gave his nephew, Jake, advice (much of which is not age-appropriate), but the two increasingly traded barbs as well. Jon Cryer, 46 (3/4/3/2/4) as Dr. Alan Jerome Harper, Charlie's brother, who is conscientious but continually stricken with bad luck and teased by Charlie, Berta and Judith. After losing his house to his first wife Judith, in the divorce, he moves in with Charlie. He is generally a kind and patient man, but seems to have an attraction to women who treat him poorly, which may stem from the non-nurturing relationship he had with his and Charlie's mother. In the season 4 episode, "Repeated Blows to his Unformed Head", it is revealed that Alan has a pregnancy fetish, which he says is due to Judith only varying from her sexless marriage policy while pregnant with Jake. Also, in the Season 6 episode, She'll Still Be Dead at Halftime, he confesses that he likes feet. In the season 3 finale, Alan marries a twenty-two year old idiot named Kandi who was one of Charlie's former girlfriends. After Charlie had canceled his wedding with Mia, Alan and Kandi got married instead. Four months after the marriage, Kandi throws Alan out of her condo, and divorces Alan, which leads him to paying alimony to two ex-wives. Alan is two years younger than Charlie. Angus T. Jones, 18 (3/3/2/2/3) as Jacob David "Jake" Harper, the son of Alan and Judith. He spends most of his free time playing video games, eating, watching television, playing the guitar, sleeping, and getting high with his best friend Eldridge. He is also an excellent poker player and a fairly good cook, but is very uneducated and stubborn, which coupled with his excessive flatulence, is a frequent theme of jokes about him. Despite his apparent lack of intelligence, he is sometimes very observant. He clearly loves his father and uncle, but is often aggressive towards them. Jake's style, personality and attitude changes as the series progresses, from a more adorable, little-boy charm in the first season to a caustic teenager in later seasons. Conchata Ferrell, 69 (2/3/3/3/3) as Berta. Although the sharp-tongued housekeeper's manner may be viewed as sarcastic, Alan and Charlie still treat her with a great deal of respect, partly out of fear, and it is clear that the household cannot function properly without her. Berta has tried her best not to allow the overwhelming stress of her job to get to her head: when Alan (a generally tidy person) moved in, she quit and Charlie was so upset that Alan had to personally beg her to return and promised that he would do his own cleaning. However, the fact that Jake's bedroom could be confused with a dump (at various times including dead fish in the closet, food left-overs in his toy box, and nasal mucus under the bed), that his toilet seat is frequently sprayed with urine, and that his underwear is filthy often leads to anger on her part. Her favorite line after a mini disaster occurs in the house is, "I'm not cleaning that up!" She has a sister named Daisy, played by Camryn Manheim, with whom she does not get along. She also has three daughters and a number of granddaughters, whom she admits are "sleazy and easy" and whom she sometimes brings along to work. A notable example was when she brought her teenage granddaughter Prudence, played by Megan Fox. She has served time in prison and worked as a prison barber. She uses, and makes references to, drugs (legal and otherwise); it is hinted that she has enjoyed many a joint during work hours, and can produce a perfect one given the opportunity. She takes anxiolytics (Valium especially) in her coffee to reduce her violent tendencies. She was a groupie with the Grateful Dead, and implied that she has had a lesbian experience while there. She often calls Alan "Zippy." Holland Taylor, 69 (3/4/4/3/2) as Evelyn Harper, Charlie and Alan's bisexual mother and Jake's grandmother. In the first season she is 58 years old. She expresses a superficial fondness for her sons and grandson, but she rarely lives up to her self-perceived notion of being a devoted and misunderstood matriarch. Her sons and grandson generally return the favor and go out of their way to avoid interacting with her on most occasions. Her wide-ranging sex life is a recurring gag throughout the series. The family frequently refers to her as "the devil" (or, as Charlie put it, "unholy mother of us"), and Charlie has her number on speed-dial in his cell phone as "666." Once, she showed up at the door in a black cloak with carrying a scythe. When Alan asked who it was, Charlie responded "It's Death," to which Alan replied, "Hi, mom!" It has been implied on one occasion that she literally is a witch (who is dreaded by other witches). Wealthy, with a luxurious house, she has been married numerous times and sells real estate. Marin Hinkle, 46 (2/3/3/2/3), Alan's cheating, vindictive, cold hearted, self-absorbed, and humorless ex-wife. She seems to despise Alan and takes any chance to humiliate him. She was the first woman Alan ever slept with, but their marriage was cold: according to her, the only time she was ever happy being sexual was when she was pregnant with Jake. In the pilot, she lied to him about realizing she was homosexual as an excuse to end the marriage, and in subsequent episode he caught her picking up multiple men. She made no secret of living luxuriously with Alan's alimony, seeing as she has not held a job since she divorced him. She has since remarried to Dr. Herbert "Herb" Melnick (Ryan Stiles), Jake's pediatrician, a union that brought joy to Alan because it meant he no longer had to pay alimony. In Season 6, she threw Herb out of the house and briefly reunited with Alan before reconciling with Herb, and it was later revealed she was pregnant with a daughter, whom she eventually named Millie. Alan hoped he was the father, but Judith said she would kill him if he revealed that he slept with her, and after she gave birth in the sixth season finale, the child's parentage remained uncertain, as Judith was with both Herb and Alan around the time Millie was conceived. Jake and Berta describe Millie as looking nothing like Judith or Herb but more like a girl version of Alan, implying Alan is the probable biological father. In Seasons 7 and 9, Judith made very few appearances but was featured in almost every episode in Season 8. |
