Jane Lynch played therapist Linda Freeman on Two and a Half Men from 2004 to 2014, before moving on to her Emmy-winning role on Glee. Despite Charlie Sheen's highly publicized firing from the show in 2011 due to a string of personal scandals and a public feud with Warner Bros., Lynch had only positive things to say about working with him. She described him as one of the nicest guys and a true leader on set, adding that she loves him very much.

Sheen was eventually replaced by Ashton Kutcher, and his character was killed off in the series.
