He couldn&#8217;t have been more gracious and enthusiastic and generous about the whole thing,&#8221; Lorre said of Sheen, before recalling of their reunion,\u00a0&#8220;It was just the most natural thing in the world. The two of us hugged&#8230; It was closure. It was healing. And it was a big weight off my heart. I don&#8217;t want to speak for Charlie, but I think he felt the same thing. It was a great opportunity for us to bury that darkness, and have fun.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now, Cryer has moved on to a new project as he&#8217;s set to star in\u00a0<\/span><em><span>Extended Family<\/span><\/em><span>, a new sitcom in which the actor plays Jim, a happily divorced guy who lives with his ex-wife (Abigail Spencer) and their kids as she starts dating someone new (Donald Faison).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We shot the pilot of this show almost two years ago, because it&#8217;s taken this crazy winding path,&#8221; Cryer said. &#8220;We all love it so much and we all cared about it so much&#8230; We could not be more thrilled for America to finally get a chance to see it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Faison agreed, noting,\u00a0&#8220;This is a show where the parents are like, &#8216;Look, for the kids let&#8217;s have an amicable divorce and really show them that we&#8217;re still partners in raising them.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;What I love about the show is we&#8217;re showing that there could be a different way to do divorce,&#8221; Spencer added. &#8220;&#8230; I just haven&#8217;t seen anything like this on TV.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Extended Family<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0will air its first episode Dec. 23 on NBC.
