Ashton Kutcher has reportedly re-signed to appear in another season of "Two and Half Men." According to reports from the BBC, the actor will earn a slight raise from the $700,000 he is rumored to have made last year.
Kutcher signed on to take over in the leading role in the show after Charlie Sheen was ousted last year. Sheen famously launched into a series of tirades attacking the show's creator Chuck Lorre and was eventually cut loose.
At the time Kutcher noted that his contract was just for one year, saying: "The deal that we structured for the show was kind of a test deal: Can we get the show up? Can we get it going?"
The show's ratings have dropped since Kutcher signed on, but that hasn't stopped Nina Tassler, the Entertainment President at CBS from praising Ashton. She has previously called him "an extraordinarily professional, talented, funny, gifted actor who comes with a tremendous amount of commitment and enthusiasm."
