Truthfully, I don’t think another actor could make the show work. There is something likable about the Charlie Harper character (and I think it is Sheen that brings that quality to the role) even though his morals stink and his lifestyle is mostly excrement. I think underneath it all, Charlie Harper realizes that sheltering his brother and nephew gives his tawdry life meaning.

Thats because the character “is” Charlie Sheen.
