Angus T. Jones

Two And A Half Men might’ve been one of the most entertaining series of the 2000s. Angus T. Jones would play the role of Jake, the well-meaning but simple-minded son of Alan Harper, the main character’s brother. Jones’ reasons for leaving the show were shrouded in mystery, though CBS claimed it had been a long-time coming.

As of season eleven, the character of Jake wouldn’t appear at all, with the actor confirming he wouldn’t be returning in 2014. All that was offered to fans was a murky statement about his departure from the sitcom. A video also surfaced of the actor denouncing Hollywood and the way it treats child actors, which led many fans to believe Jones’ was experiencing a crisis of mental health.
