10 Actors Who Left Hit TV Shows And Then Came Back

Angus T. Jones spent his entire childhood working on a sitcom that just so happened to also star Charlie Sheen. That can't have been healthy for the poor boy.

Jones was less than ten years old when he first appeared as Jake on the show, the titular 'half' to Sheen and Cryer's 'men'. At first, his storylines mostly revolved around a goofy adolescence or making jokes at the expense of his father or uncle.

But as the show grew older, so too did Jones. The result was that by the time Sheen infamously left the show, Jones was a teenager and was having to take part in increasingly mature storylines, such as his character dating and having sex with an older woman. This did not sit well with Jones, who is a self-professed God-fearing man, and the actor made it clear.

In 2012, Jones openly chastised the show, calling it 'filth' and encouraging people to never watch it. This led to Jake being written out of the eleventh season with a Jake-goes-to-Japan storyline.

But even after all of this, Jones did return to the series for a brief appearance in the series finale the following season, which is more than can be said for Charlie Sheen.
