Mila Kunis To Guest Star On CBS' Two And A Half Men
Two and a Half Men has landed a pretty big guest star. On Tuesday, CBS announced that
Mila Kunis will be joining the veteran comedy program for a special episode. The move marks
the first time she will share the TV screen with Ashton Kutcher after starring opposite
the actor on That 70s Show in the late nineties and into the 2000s. As it turns out, the gig
has the potential to be a pretty steamy affair, as well, or at least a pretty comedic one.
Kunis is set to pop up in the Chuck Lorre comedy as Vivian, a gorgeous young lady who
will show up on Walden's doorstep. If you are wondering how someone just shows up on
a doorstep, Kunis' character's description should shed a little light on the concept.
She's set to play a beautiful and free-spirited traveling type with the ability to get close
to people rather quickly. Her charm will work on Walden, who immediately feels as if she
is the one. The only problem? He's already close to proposing to another lady.
A little over five years ago, it wouldn't have been big news to hear Mila Kunis would
be guest starring in a TV program. That was before her career really began taking off,
especially after she took the role of Lily in Black Swan, leading her into a fairly lucrative
movie career that includes roles in Friends with Benefits, Oz the Great and Powerful and
Ted (although probably not a big role in Ted 2). She's next set to appear in the Wachowski
siblings' film Jupiter Ascending. That's a pretty big pedigree for a fairly young actress,
and it means her turn on Two and a Half Men is kind of a big deal.
The gig is also significant because it means Kunis will be sharing screentime with her
recent fiancé, Ashton Kutcher. The couple began dating just a couple of years ago, some
time after Kutcher split from Demi Moore. The two should have no problem showing onscreen
spark if that's what the role calls for, but I'm hoping we at least get a few playful barbs
between the two characters.
Now in its 11th season, Two and a Half Men has changed quite a bit from the years, deposing
of two of the show's original leads. In recent years, Ashton Kutcher and Amber Tamblyn have
stood in for similar-ish characters that were played by Charlie Sheen and Angus T. Jones.
Even with all of the big changes, it should still be good to get some fresh guest-starring
blood on the show, and the That 70s Show reunion also seems promising. CBS hasn't yet announced
which episode Kunis will appear in, but with only a couple more months of new episodes
on the schedule, it's bound to be soon.
Two and a Half Men is currently running its 11th season on CBS. You can catch new episodes
on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET.
