His show, “Anger Management,” based on the Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson film of the same name, has been bought by FX.
So far, 10 episodes have been ordered of the comedy about a mellow guy who’s ordered to take anger management classes from a hothead therapist.
Sheen is set to star as the therapist, the role played by Nicholson in the movie version.
And here’s the best part — FX is also where Sheen’s last show “Two and a Half Men” is shown over and over in reruns.
At the time it was announced Sheen signed up for the show, the actor cracked, “I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept.”
FX beat out ABC, FOX, NBC, and cable networks Comedy Central, TV Land, and USA Network among other for the series.
