Read more about Charlie Harper at: Wikipedia Official Site: CBS Charles Francis "Charlie" Harper is a fictional character in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men from seasons 1–8. Played by actor Charlie Sheen, the character has garnered him three Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor and two Golden Globe nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy Series. After being expelled from Juilliard School, Charlie began writing jingle for a living. His most famous composition is the Maple Loops song. Charlie then became a successful composer and singer of children's music, with the alias "Charlie Waffles", when the jingle business dried up. The character of Charlie Harper is loosely based on Charlie Sheen, the actor who portrayed the character through the first eight seasons of the show. (In addition, it is the third character that has the same first name as Sheen, who had previously portrayed deputy mayor Charlie Crawford in Spin City and Charlie Barkin from All Dogs Go to Heaven 2.) Charlie prides himself on his bachelor/playboy lifestyle in Malibu and drives a Mercedes, and a Ferrari (and formerly a Jaguar). His lifestyle consists of living in a two-story beachfront home, drinking excessively, smoking cigars, constant womanizing, gambling, and wearing bowling shirts and shorts the vast majority of the time. Charlie sleeps in constantly, and is the boss of a full-time housekeeper. Money "falls into his lap" as he lives a life of free-spirited debauchery. Charlie died as a result of being struck by a train while in Paris. When Charlie's mother Evelyn was pregnant with him (for 7 and a half months), his parents thought that he was going to be a girl, since the ultrasound showed no signs of a penis. According to Evelyn, Charlie was always "a little drama queen" when he grew up. After his father died of food poisoning, Charlie and his brother Alan had three stepdads. The first was a man named Harry Luther Gorsky, who left Charlie and Alan's mother for a young woman (Charlie refers to Harry as "a little tyrant"), the second was a twitchy gay man from Texas who called him and Alan "buckaroos", and the third was "the Carpet King", a fat guy who Charlie liked the most because he had "a grateful daughter". Well into his 40s, Charlie believed "the Carpet King" owned a carpeting business, until his mother eventually revealed to him that the pet name was actually sexual slang rather than his profession.
Charlie Harper has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
