\n The latest TV drama to grab viewers’ attention is not on the small screen: It’s the clash of TV titans Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre, the star vs. the creator of Two and a Half Men.<\/p>\nSo just who is the man behind the scenes of the successful TV show that’s kept Sheen in steady employment for the past eight years?<\/p>\n
Born Charles Levine in 1952, the twice-married Lorre got an inauspicious start as a short-order cook and soda jerk at his dad’s luncheonette on New York’s Long Island before going into TV writing, and finally making it big as an executive producer.<\/p>\n
Thing 1: Tough but Likeable
A 2007 Entertainment Weekly profile labeled him “the angriest man in television,” but many who work with him say he’s a good boss.<\/p>\n
“He’s a great guy and treats the crew and everybody really well,” says a source on the set of Men. “He throws nice parties for the crew and invites a lot of people over to his place for the opening of the [show] season and gets it all catered.”<\/p>\n
Adds the source, “Chuck isn’t one to avoid a confrontation. If Chuck gets a little bit perturbed, he can get really strict. He likes to do things his way, period. There’s no other way.”<\/p>\n
Known as a hands-on producer, Lorre has worked on Roseanne and Dharma & Greg, and has recently been running three shows at once: Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly and The Big Bang Theory.<\/p>\n
Thing 2: Vanity Card Author<\/p>\n
He’s also known for creating the industry’s wordiest vanity cards \u2013 those production company logos that show up after the credits. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
