The multi-talented Ashton Kutcher joins the cast of the Emmy(R) Award–nominated TWO AND A HALF MEN as the hit comedy series returns for its ninth season, continuing the laughs about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. Playing Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt, Kutcher (That ‘70s Show) joins the cast including Jon Cryer as the tightly-wound Alan Harper, Angus T. Jones as Alan’s son, Jake, Holland Taylor as Alan’s narcissistic mother, Evelyn, Marin Hinkle as Alan’s neurotic ex-wife Judith and Conchata Ferrell as the brash and blue-collar Berta. Revamped and re-energized, the newly “manned” sitcom was created and executive produced by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn.
