Where is Two and a Half Men child star Angus T. Jones now after quitting Hollywood?

Angus T. Jones started out on screen in 1999 with a role as ‘5-year-old kid’ in Simpatico. Two years later, he was taking on more regular acting work, starting with a 2001 performance in See Spot Run.

Before he joined Charlie Sheen on screen, Angus starred in TV feature Dinner With Friends, an episode of ER and the 2002 baseball drama The Rookie.

In 2003, Angus T. Jones starred alongside Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer in hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. The beloved comedy is still Angus’ best-known project today, with the actor counting credits in 226 episodes.

He worked on the show for 10 seasons, appearing for a surprise cameo in season 12 finale ‘Of Course He’s Dead’ and reprising his role as Jake Harper.

Angus appeared in a few other projects both during and after his time on Two and a Half Men, including a 2010 episode of Hannah Montana as TJ and the 2013 comedy Tuna.

In 2016, he joined Steve Buscemi and Louis C.K. in comedy series Horace & Pete, playing Horace the 9th in a guest appearance.

Angus’ storyline on Two and a Half Men evolved as the actor aged, dealing with topics like drug use and sex – topics that he felt clashed with his beliefs after a religious awakening.

In 2012, Angus publicly described the show as “filth” and encouraged people to stop watching. After leading a normal life at college for several years, he subsequently apologised to writer Chuck Lorre and reconciled with Charlie Sheen, describing his thinking at the time as “pretty doomsday”.

The actor was most recently seen on screen in an uncredited cameo role as himself on How to Be a Bookie in 2023.

Nowadays, he’s busy sharing music updates via his Instagram, which provides a tongue-in-cheek link to his Wikipedia page in the bio.
