The star of FX's Anger Management has missed several days of work in recent weeks, according to sources. The absences have forced the show’s studio, Lionsgate, to push production beyond what was planned and to use stand-ins for the actor in certain scenes. The moves are said to have angered many of Sheen's fellow castmembers. One source says the Anger cast is threatening to stop working if the absences persist.
A Lionsgate spokesperson declined to comment on the situation. Sheen's publicist, Jeff Ballard, denies that the show has used stand-ins or shot around the actor. "We did not shoot last week because another member of the cast was sick," the rep tells THR. "Charlie is always ready, willing and able to shoot Anger Management and looks forward to returning on Monday."
