Sheen started acting in 1974 at the age of nine, appearing in a small role alongside his father in the television movie The Execution of Private Slovik. His film career began in 1984 with a role in the Cold War teen drama Red Dawn. Charlie had his first major role in the Vietnam War drama Platoon in 1986. His bad boy behavior, however, is rumored to have started long before then, as he was expelled from high school just weeks before graduation for a combination of poor grades and a tendency to not show up.

Charlie Sheen has a long history of brawling and drunken or drug-fueled accidents. Here’s a few of the highlights:

In 1990, he accidentally shot his then-fiancee, Kelly Preston, in the leg and though it was a minor wound, it needed two stitches. Their relationship ended shortly after the incident.

In 1995, Charlie Sheen was named as one of many clients who visited brothels owned by Heidi Fleiss in her court case. When questioned about this, Sheen responded “I love sex and I can afford it”.

In 1998, Sheen tried injecting cocaine, accidentally giving himself an overdose. He was hospitalized, but discharged from the hospital quickly. His father Martin reported him for violation of parole. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and Charlie was sent to rehab.

In 2005, Denise Richards, Charlie Sheen’s then-wife, while she was still pregnant with their daughter Lola, Richards filed for divorce, accusing him of abusing drugs and alcohol and threatening Richards with violence.

In 2009, Charlie Sheen was arrested on charges of domestic violence, including second-degree assault and menacing, against his wife Brooke Mueller.

In 2010, Charlie Sheen took a break from Two and a Half Men to voluntarily enter a rehab facility.

Despite all of this, Charlie Sheen’s sitcom Two and a Half Men is America’s Number One Comedy, according to CBS. People are lining up in droves to watch the show, and during the Winter Olympics last year, a re-run of the show beat both American Idol and the Olympics.

The the two-toned bowling shirts with a retro style and feel that Charlie Sheen wears on Two and a Half Men are some of the hottest items in menswear this year. Charlie Sheen shirts are a must for the fashion conscious hipster.

In March of 2010, Sheen’s press representatives announced that he was leaving rehab and returning to work on the popular show. Charlie Sheen reportedly signed an agreement to return to the sitcom for another two years for a whopping $1.78 million per episode. It appears that we’ll be seeing Charlie Sheen and his shirts on television for quite some time.

Two and a Half Men has been one of television’s most popular sitcoms since its very first show in 2003. The situational comedy features Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is a 40-ish, aging playboy bachelor with a very successful career writing commercial jingles. His lifestyle becomes very cramped when his brother Alan (Jon Cryer) gets divorced and is forced to move in with him, bringing his 10 year old son Jake (Angus T Jones) with him. Alan is a lot more uptight than Charlie is, and also more than a little jealous of his lifestyle. There’s a stalker ex-girlfriend, a nosy housekeeper, and a self-centered mother, which makes for some funny, yet risque comedy. If you’re easily offended you should stay away, but if you like fearless comedy you should come on in and laugh awhile.

One other reason why Two and a Half Men is so popular is because that Charlie Sheen’s role as Charlie Harper is seen as skewering his own foibles and reputation. Charlie Sheen has long had the distinction of being one of Hollywood’s bad boys, having done several stints in rehab and numerous times in court (both divorce and criminal). He’s a famous client of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, reportedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on her girls and services. He’s no stranger to domestic violence, or drug use. Just recently, in fact, after an altercation with his wife, he was formally charged with felony menacing, and third-degree assault and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. He plead guilty to misdemeanor assault as part of a plea bargain where the other charges against him were dismissed.

And believe it or not, he is more popular than ever. The show is  ”America’s Number-One Comedy,” according to CBS, and he just signed an agreement to return to the sitcom for another two years for a reported $1.78 million per episode. During the Winter Olympics, Two and a Half Men went up against them as a repeat, and still drew more than 10 million viewers. That’s very impressive, and it means that the show has some serious fans. It obviously does, with those kinds of numbers or a re-run.

And you know those two-toned retro-style bowling shirts that Charlie Sheen wears on Two and a Half Men? They’re some of the most popular menswear in stores today. Charlie Sheen shirts are flying off the shelves, and it is all due to the popularity of the show.

The show has its detractors, who say it is too crude and too cliched, but other fans don’t seem to mind, and CBS is sure to keep the same winning formula for its number one show. Two and a Half Men will be back next season, just the same as it was before.

If you’ve been following Two and a Half Men, you’ve surely noticed Charlie Sheen’s signature bowling shirts. ” ”
As a jingle-writing bachelor living in Malibu, Charlie (the character) is always in cool, casual attire. The show’s costume designer puts him in these comfy clothes to reflect his character – laidback and free-spirited. In fact, Charlie has become a virtual catalog for the Hollywood trend of retro fashion. Two-toned, short-sleeved bowling shirts and cabana wear over khaki shorts all scream cool comfort, and Charlie carries the look pretty well.

Truth be told, we don’t think anyone else can pull off the look as effortlessly as Charlie. He seems most comfortable in camp shirts, which are basically bowling shirts. His look is perfect for his character, who lives in a Southern California beach community.

Where To Get Them

So now the question is, where can you find these cool shirts? Well, you can order them at Charlie Harper Shirts. The line is a private label, and they are not available anywhere in retail stores.

If you want more options, you can try Nat Nast, which can be found in department stores like Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. Charlie has actually worn some of his shirts from Nat Nast on the show, but there are other stores you can check out as well. Try Daddy-O, Swing Masters and Lounge Masters, all of which have contrasting collars and vertical front panels against a standard background. Most of the fabric is 100 percent silk, in retro patterns and color combinations that incorporate details of the classic ’50s bowling shirts.

So now that you’ve got the shirt, wear it well. The look works best when the untucked shirt is paired with slacks, although Charlie wears them with shorts (and looks good in them). Talk about style and comfort all rolled into one!

He may have been expelled from the school for poor grades and bad attendance just before graduation, but Charlie Sheen sure knows the value of style and substance. Our man Charlie exudes a marketable look, plus his acting career had exploded quickly. And need we say that he always seems to end up with a beautiful woman?

Joining the celebrity clothing line bandwagon, Charlie recently launched his signature line of casual shirts called the ‘DaVinci Collection by Charlie Sheen‘. The Two And A Half Men star co-produced the line with the brand Rock & Roll Religion. His line is “reminiscent of the rockabilly culture born in 1950’S California.”

The New York Daily News reports that Charlie’s line focuses on short-sleeved, button-up shirts with agoya shell buttons, retro patterns and contrasting color combinations. Charlie says he loves the feel and look of the DaVinci pieces. The retro designs indeed exude a sense of cool, smooth, yet effortless style. Just like his comfortable camp shirts in his hit TV show, Charlie’s line screams “I’m stylish, laid-back and cool but don’t take myself too seriously.”

We say every guy should have at least one DaVinci in his closet.
And why not? We think the wearer would be proud to don a shirt designed by a Golden Globe Award-winning and Emmy-nominated Spanish-American actor. According to TV Guide, Sheen is TV’s highest paid actor, taking home an estimated $825,000 an episode for his CBS hit television show. Oh, did we mention that he’s generous too? He reportedly left a $100 tip for a beauty salon staffer because he was delighted with the $50 pedicure he received.

True to his laidback style, he reportedly got married in a cheap suit from a discount store while his 3rd bride wore Reem Acra. Nevertheless, his gorgeous new wife Brooke Mueller must be proud.

So are we.
