He is the exact opposite of his sibling: relaxed, carefree, and affluent. He loves his nephew Jake and gives him advice (much of which is not age-appropriate), but the two often trade barbs as well.

Prior to Two and a Half Men, Cryer and Sheen appeared together in the 1991 comedy Hot Shots!. Cryer also won the 2009 Emmy award for best supporting actor in a comedy series.
Angus T. Jones as Jacob David "Jake" Harper, the underachieving son of Alan and Judith. He spends most of his free time playing video games, eating, watching television, playing guitar and sleeping. He is also an excellent poker player and a fairly good cook, but is a bit dim (although he is sometimes quite observant), which is a frequent theme of jokes about him. He clearly loves his father and uncle but is often surly toward them. In the intro Jake is lip-synching and the voice is that of a female singer and voice-over artist Elizabeth Daily.

A notable example was when she brought her teenage granddaughter Prudence, played by Megan Fox. She has been known to attend many Harper family functions when not working. She has served time in prison.
Holland Taylor as Evelyn Harper, Charlie and Alan's conceited mother and Jake's grandmother. She expresses a superficial fondness for her sons and grandson, but she rarely lives up the self-perceived image that she is a devoted and misunderstood matriarch. Her sons and grandson generally return the favor and go out of their way to avoid interacting with her on most occasions. Her wide-ranging sex life is a recurring gag throughout the series. The family frequently refers to her as "the devil," (or how Charlie put it, "unholy mother of us") and Charlie has her number on his cell phone under the name "666." Apparently wealthy, she has been married numerous times and sells real estate.
Marin Hinkle as Judith Melnick, Alan's vindictive, self-absorbed, and humorless ex-wife. She seems to despise Alan and takes any chance to humiliate him. She was the first woman Alan ever slept with, but their marriage was cold: according to her, the only time she was ever happy being sexual was when she was pregnant with Jake. .^ At Vinita, the junction has made no growth, because white men are not allowed to live there, and the Indians content themselves with agriculture and hunting.- Edward King, 1848-1896.

She has since remarried to Dr. Herb Melnick (Ryan Stiles), Jake's pediatrician, a union that brought joy to Alan because it meant he no longer had to pay alimony. In Season 6, she threw Herb out of the house and briefly reunited with Alan before reconciling with Herb, and it was later revealed she was pregnant with a daughter. .^ When I asked one of the superintendents why not, he smiled quaintly, and said: "Put a negro in one of those rooms with a hundred looms, and the noise would put him to sleep."- Edward King, 1848-1896.

When Kandi was offered a role on a CSI-spoof drama (Bowlby previously appeared in both CSI and CSI: NY), she finally signed their divorce papers and hasn't been seen since. Actress April Bowlby also appeared as another character named Kimber earlier on in the series prior to the starring role of Kandi. It has been said by creator Chuck Lorre that the character of Kandi may return sometime in season seven. "We're toying with the idea," Lorre said. "We've already got about five scripts for episodes that may see the return of Kandi, but we're still looking at it." April Bowlby has said that she would definitely show interest in reprising the role of the dim-witted Kandi.[citation needed]

Rose was seen to be stalking Alan, but it is possible that she is stalking both Alan and Charlie. Although she is somewhat mentally unhinged and obsessed with Charlie, Rose expressed that she "has an undergraduate degree from

behavioral psychology from
Stanford University." Throughout the series, Rose has applied her knowledge of interpersonal communication towards the various situations that arise. Her family is involved in banking and oil, making them, and implicitly her, extremely wealthy.

She has become close friends with Alan, something Charlie enjoys because Alan can go to museums and foreign films (activities that Charlie cannot stand). In the seventh season premiere, Charlie finally decides to let go of Mia and commit to Chelsea. As the season progresses they plan to be married but, after Chelsea becomes attracted to Alan's lawyer and Charlie vomits on a baby, Chelsea postpones the wedding. In Season 7 Charlie and Chelsea have a post-breakup one-night stand. While credited among the main cast during the seventh season, CBS press releases bill her as a recurring character.
