Teenage actor Angus T. Jones, who stars in the CBS comedy ‘‘Two and a Half Men,’’ said in a video posted online by a Christian church that the show is ‘‘filth’’ (read more and watch a video with more details).
What do you think of Jones's remarks? Should he stay on the show? Discuss here.

That show made him a multimillionaire so of course now he can be done with it.

Sorry, Molly. We both said basically the same thing, we are correct though!

He's an idiot (IMO) "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
If he truly feels this way, he should quietly resign...I bet there are thousands of young men that would be thrilled to take that job for a lot less money than they're paying him and do a good job.
Youth is waste on the young. *Sigh*
Where is his manager? Parents? They should be telling him to shut up! He will regret this.

another soft-headed, ungrounded child star with too much money gets sucked-up by a bizarro california cult . . . tom cruise, anyone?
i'm sure the last thing the forunner christian church, inc. wanted him to do was kill the goose that laid the golden egg like that. they'll excommunicate him when he's no longer in a position to 'tithe'.
he can forget about another show biz job: hollywood especially doesn't forgive biting the hand that feeds.
he'll be sharing needles with macauley culkin and edward furlong erelong.

Hey Junior, who cares what your thoughts are. Tired of hearing how we should live, vote, ect...from some out of touch celebrity, least of all some 19 years old kid who has no clue (like most of us when we were 19). This coming from a kid who has made millions on the show. The same kid who talks about getting high and spanking it on the show. You hipocrite!!!

I think that he should (and probably will) quit. I also think that he is just now coming into his own - I have heard him talk a few times and he doesn't come across as "spoiled" or anything like McCauley Caulkin - to suggest that is a bit ignorant. Let's face it, the show has ALWAYS been based on low-brow humor - so he's now figured it out. Let's see if he quits before saying he is a hypocrite or whatever. I ay - good for him for having the courage to say what he feels.

Aside from the poor integrity it shows for a 'devout Christian', it may be that he wants out but is under contract, so he maybe hopes that something like this will get him released without penality.

Well maybe he should direct his displeasure at his parents, they had to okay anything he did before the age of 18, right?
Better yet, maybe he should talk to Paul Peterson, he runs an organization to help child actors adjust to adult life... http://www.minorcon.org/

Obviously he isnt very bright. He will be written out of the show. His career just came to a crashing halt as an actor. He never added anything to the show , just played th epart of an annoying little brat well. Who would have thought that in real ife thats all he is.

Not Filth just non-creative garbage. I would prefer dirty jokes that are actually funny

Actually I think Angus is pretty smart. You should never develop ethics until you are sure you can afford them

It appears that not only is he NOT giving the money back, he's continuing to collect more.
Didn't Jesus say something about camels, eyes of needles and rich men not being able to get into heaven?

Do you think he would enjoy working for minimum wage at one of the big box stores?
That is, if they are hiring...LOL

When Charlie Sheen did his little rant and the lunatic aftermath that followed I came to the conclusion that this show was actually reality TV. Mr. Jones appears to have provided furthur confirmation to that notion. Mr. Jones has not been portraying a young man with the intellect of a gerbil, he actually does have the intellectual capacity of one.

Is he still cashing his check?

I think he should be replaced. His heart isn't in it. He should be thankful.
