Cryer noted that while Sheen was once the highest-paid actor on television, \u201che blew it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201d Sheen reportedly earned an astounding $1.8 million per episode, a sum that only added to the drama when his behavior jeopardized the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-473-1024x665.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-473-1024x665.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-473-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-473-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-473.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Possible Return?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panelist Ana Navarro\u2019s suggestion that Cryer might reconsider if he were offered the same lucrative pay didn\u2019t entirely sway him.

As he puts it, \u201cI love him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish him the best.
