CBS confirmed Ashton would be joining original cast members Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones on the set of Men. He will not, however, be taking on the role of Charlie Harper. He'll play a new person who comes into the Malibu bachelor pad.
Ashton is reportedly signed on to make a fraction of the more than $2 million Charlie was making per episode.
