Would You Urge Viewers Not To Watch a Show You Star In?

If the boy believes what he's doing is filth and against his religion, I think he needs to stop doing the show. Seriously, if he thinks what he's doing is offensive to God, does he really think God would be okay with him just telling others not to do it but him continuing to do it and get paid for it????

I've read about Angus but I haven't heard his full interview yet. Personally, I believe you respect your contract. His contract, like that of other actors, simply does not permit him to make disparaging remarks like he's doing now. I read that it's likely they won't take any action against him, at this time, because he is still an "integral character" in the show... but, if people recall, Charlie Sheen was certainly an integral character too and he's long gone. I respect Angus' beliefs and his right to hold them dear... but I don't agree for a moment that it gives him the right to call the show "filth" and to urge people NOT to watch it. It's not his show alone... there are other actors involved and a whole team of people that put it together. He's basically "made" his lifetime thanks to "Two and a Half Men"... I believe he should be more appreciative, more respectful and more professional in his conduct. He's been listed as the "highest paid child star" on television in recent times and just this one example cites his net worth at $15 million, with him earning $350,000 per episode: http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/angus-jones-net-worth/ Seems to me to be a whole lot like biting the hand that feeds you.

If my moral beliefs all of a sudden affected my work, I wo9uld quit the show, as opposed to telling people not to watch it. I think the guy's a hypocrite for keeping the money and still doing the show, yet complaining about the content of the show every step of the way.

This is how I feel about that. I haven't read about this so it's hard to respond so I have a question. Is he quitting the role? If not, he certainly cannot believe in his new-found religion so how does he have the right to tell anyone to stop watching it. Boldness is ok if you believe in what you're doing. He seems to like the money more than his religion. Am I wrong?

I do not think that i could feel right about not wanting others to watch a show I was in,. i would want as many people watching as I can.

I would only respect him for that if he stopped playing in that show and returned all the money. Otherwise, it's just a rebellious teen with a new-found religion's "splendor"... not something that I would take seriously.

I haven't seen the interviews, but I do think he should respect his coworkers - the other actors, the writers, etc., and perhaps just tell people what he is really like rather than disparage the show and the people who work on it as well as the people who like it. I myself don't watch the show, but I think that others should be able to enjoy harmless entertainment.

I haven't read about this and I like the show, have actually watched every episode of it. It's shocking to hear this knowing that he has been with the show from the beginning. I don't think it's a good move, what his doing, bold and probably improper. If it's because of his religious belief that he's acting this way now, then I must say that that's really something. For me, I would rather just stay quiet. There are other and better ways to do good deeds so why not choose doing them first, right?

Yes, yes I would. What happens is, people get to know the actor through the part he plays; and Angus wants the people of his new-found religion to get to know him as he really is & not -as Two-&-a-Half Men's writers make his character. That would be like if I played a creepy stalker on television---which I might, or not. I don't want people to expect me to do the kinds of things a creepy stalker does, or--worse yet--expect that my motive for doing things I do do is 'so that I can better stalk you'

Yes, I would. I wouldn't play some of those roles that are on some of these shows whether I was religious or not. There's just some parts I wouldn't portray regardless of how much money they were willing to pay. Money is not everything. We need money to live, pay bills, buy necessities, but beyond that I draw the line. If he found God and has changed his outlook and wants to live right, then I think he's in his right to speak out against that show. I would. I admire him for it.
