Less than two weeks after the domestic dispute that landed Charlie Sheen in jail, the actor has returned to the set of 'Two and a Half Men' - and according to his colleagues, Sheen has left his home troubles at home. "He's been incredibly professional, always, but especially in times of personal crisis," co-star Jon Cryer tells PEOPLE. "He is solid as a rock [and] today was no different. ... It's a very funny episode so it went well. Thankfully a good script can get everybody through awkward moments.""He was in his usual good humor on read-through day but obviously with the weight of something hanging on him a bit," Cryer adds.
The actor admits that he experienced "total shock" when he heard of Sheen's Christmas Day fight with wife Brooke Mueller, but says, "He's been a good friend to me and it's painful. I love them both and they're a lovely couple.... I don't see that side of him. To me, he's been a great, loyal friend and a lovely guy to work with. He's a guy who dotes on his kids as much as any other father."
Reports that both Sheen and Mueller are still struggling with alcoholism troubles Cryer. "I know Charlie was immensely proud of his years of sobriety and I think that is the hardest thing they're both dealing with right now," he says. "I know it was very important to him and I'm sure that's one of the saddest aspects for him."
Chuck Lorre, the creator and executive producer of 'Two and a Half Men,' agrees that Sheen is doing a tremendous job of focusing on work. "In seven years and one hundred and fifty-two episodes, Charlie has never been anything other than a total pro. No entourage, no star trips, just a professional actor doing his job," Lorre says. "Apart from a few sick days and some babies being born, he hasn't missed a day of work. Beyond that he's been a good friend and colleague who's always fun to work with."

Sheen is something alright but it's not solid as a rock. Mom and Dad must be sooooo proud of their little boy.

Jon Cryer is no dummy, he knows who butters his bread.

I do not advocate domestic violence in any way. But his wife was way over the limit. People seem to forget his father was a raging alcoholic. I think he is a great actor. Does he have issues? Definatly. But who is anyone to judge him?

Yep, keep drinking, Charlie and Brooke. The nanny will take care of the kids. I'm sure they'll be fine. Oh, and don't worry about all the actors you work with who are affected by your stupidity. It's all about you, after all.
Cheers!

I do not believe everything that is written about any celeb.
You have to take info with a grain of salt. I personally love
Charlie Sheen. Yes, he's been known to be a "bad boy", but
has proven that he can change.

I will say this about drinking...If not done in moderation it's a killer....Two shots of 100 proof Whiskey is one thing...5 or 8 shots is another..Some people just don't have the personality to handle it and it turns them into a Psychotic personality....If you can't hold it to moderation stay away from it all together...that's the only way...
And remember you are still responsible for your actions even if under the influence of something...

2 1/2 Mens needs to write in the hilarity that is Chucky's life:
Berta gets real drunk Xmas day and Charlie just cuts her up for big laughs. Rose calls the police and Charlie shoots her ten times for even bigger laughs. Child Services ahow up in Malibu and says Lil Jake's no worse off than what's going on down the road at Mel's house. Big laughs; fade out to some other show.

Hey Joe, who's Mel? I think you mean "Judith's house"?
To Jeff58 :
Mel Gibson was referred to in an episode where Malibu Police showed up at the end and said that at least Alan didn't want to know if he (the cop) was Jewish.
