Charlie Sheen to coach acting for work release

By Alexandra Heilbron on June 7, 2010 | 6 Comments


As of tomorrow morning, Charlie Sheen will start his work release, which means from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. he’ll be able to leave prison everyday to coach professional actors appearing in two musicals and one play: the musicals The Marvelous Wonderettes and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, and a comedy about adulterers called Same Time Next Year. He’ll also do meet-and-greets at Theatre Aspen fundraising events and will be working with children enrolled in acting classes with the theater. His hearing will take place at 4 p.m. today and if the judge accepts his plea, he’ll be taken to jail tonight. According to TMZ Sheen has completed the required 36 hours of anger management classes. Once he’s released from jail (17 days in total, but today, when he arrives at the jail at 7 p.m. counts as one day, and the final day will be just as short), he’ll be on probation for a short period of time.

    I don’t think coaching actors is hard work. Don’t they have some rocks he could bust?

    Really…is this community service????? Now, if he seems to like teaching the little kiddies enrolling in acting classes then ok. And if he sticks with it longer than the court awarded time frame, then even better. If not, then it’s like telling a baseball player who gets caught dealing drugs to teach how to swing a bat at baseball camp. Why is he doing something he likes to do as a living anyway?????? Isn’t prison supposed to be like hell? So shouldn’t the community service be at least hard to do instead of meet-and-greets? OOhhh he has to smile and shake hands…tough one. Clean the side of the highways.

    i didnt say it was HARD work, i just think its good they are making him do something other than sitting around all day.

    woody, i think the reason behind this work release is so that he can learn how to be a role model by working with impressionable youth.

    I liked the youth part. Didn’t like the meet-and-greet (skaking hands and smiling and likely having a martini while signing autographs) part etc… I also said if he sticks with teaching the youth then great. That’s the best part of his community service.
