Ashton Kutcher Will Be Walden Schmidt on Two and a Half Men

With rumors swirling that Charlie Sheen’s character on Two and a Half Men will be killed off, CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler avoided the subject but did reveal details about his replacement, Ashton Kutcher’s new character. The model turned romantic-comedy star will play Walden Schmidt, an “Internet billionaire with a broken heart.” Tassler said, “There is great value in hiring an actor like Ashton Kutcher. He is extra-professional, a funny, talented, gifted actor who comes with a tremendous amount of commitment and enthusiasm.” All she would say about Sheen’s character's departure is “It’s going to be a big event.”
