Charlie Sheen is doing lines again, Page Six has learned. But don’t worry — this time they’re from a script.
We’re told the star — who hasn’t appeared on camera in anything other than a cameo role since 2017 — has started shooting a TV pilot written and produced by “Entourage” creator Doug Ellin.
Ellin and Sheen apparently became friendly when Ellin landed Sheen last year as a guest on his “Victory The Podcast” show
, and he then teased that he and Sheen were hatching a project together.
Ellin said at the time that he gave Sheen some loose ideas for a TV show to mull over — and that he wanted to also get Charlie’s dad Martin in the show.
Now we hear that they started shooting an untitled pilot in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and they have indeed convinced Sheen Sr. to do a cameo.
We’re told “Entourage” alums Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillon are also appearing in the new project.
“Major League” star Sheen recently hinted that he was working with Ellin, Connolly and Dillon when posted a picture of the four of them with a group of other actors to Instagram with the caption, “Epic first day with my new ‘2nd.’ family.”
Of course, Sheen famously flamed out of his phenomenally successful TV career in 2011 when he launched a public assault on Chuck Lorre, the creator and executive producer of Sheen’s hit show, “Two and a Half Men.”
Sheen — who has long-running and well-documented substance-abuse issues — was fired, and shortly afterward entered his “Tiger Blood” phase, giving a series of bizarre TV interviews claiming to be a “warlock.”
He was replaced on the show by Ashton Kutcher and returned to a regular gig on TV with FX’s “Anger Management,” which ran from 2012 to 2014.
Meanwhile, Ellin’s blockbuster show “Entourage” appeared on HBO from 2004 to 2011 and spun off a 2010 movie.
