'Two and a Half Men' star finds religion, calls TV show 'filth'
Jones, 19, who has played Jake Harper - the son of Jon Cryer's character Alan - for nine years, appealed to fans to stop watching the show "and filling your head with filth."
In a YouTube video made for the California-based Forerunner Christian Church, Jones said his recent Bible studies made him uncomfortable with the risque humor that marks one of the most-watched comedies on US television.
"If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men," Jones says in the video. "I'm on Two and a Half Men and I don't want to be on it."
"If I am doing any harm, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be contributing to the enemy's plan... You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that.
"I'm not okay with what I'm learning, what the Bible says and being on that television show," Jones added.
The CBS network and Warner Bros Television, which makes the comedy, both declined to comment on Monday on Jones's remarks.
Jones's character recently had a brief fling with actress Miley Cyrus, who made a guest appearance as a young temptress in an October episode.
His remarks could pose new problems for the comedy, which was revamped in 2011 following the firing of star Charlie Sheen for erratic behavior off screen and his vicious public dispute with the show's producers.
Sheen's womanizing bachelor character and alter-ego, Charlie Harper, was killed off and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, playing an Internet billionaire.
The comedy, now in its 10th season, is watched by about 14 million Americans, and is seen in more than 20 countries around the world.

That's a bit rich coming from him when he is paid handsomely from the show, like $1million US per episode. Also as Charlie Sheen said a few silly comments of the producer of the show he was fired. The show is not the same since he has gone. Now that this kid has become religious can he please donate all his earnings to charity, then we can see what his true religion is.
Sad that this kid turned into a bible thumper. Angus, you have lots of money but very little brains. The cult has swallowed your up and will make mince meat of your head. Don't go down the path of Kirk Cameron. Go to college and get educated. That is all Kinga has spoken.
did he mean the new seasons with walden (ashton kutcher)? or the old ones too?
@BruteForce: No he must love India, where one cannot comment even on facebook against His Highness "Bal thakeray"....btw 2.5 Men was a widely seen series in pak till Charlie was in it...after that it sucks!!!
American answer Pakistani Taliban.
At least he believes in something. He has a right to express his opinion. Not much more he can do anyway
I don't know about the show filling people head with filth, but surely this guys head is filled with some animal refuse. Otherwise, he'd first leave the show, before resorting to such hypocritical drivel.
I think he will love Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The show lost its potential when Charlie Sheen was sent packing. Also Jack was ok as long as he was the 10 year old, after that it was only a downward road.
Dude the show died when charlie left... and you became annoying in season 7...so take a break
I just love the show!!
who cares if he leaves the show. the guy is hopelessly irrelevant and otherwise irritating already.
Agree with you Angus. May you receive and stay on the right path
