"Two And A Half Men": Ashton Kutcher's character's name revealed.

"Next on “Two and a Half Men“! Jake and Alan Harper’s new roommate officially has a name: Walden Schmidt, an Internet billionaire with a broken heart.

Fans have been curious about Ashton Kutcher‘s character, and what his role will be on the
aging
veteran CBS comedy, in the wake of former co-star Charlie Sheen’s public implosion and firing. The network began capitalizing on that mystery a few weeks ago with a randy promotional poster featuring an apparently naked Kutcher hiding his naughty bits behind a banner that reads “All will be revealed 09.19.11.”

But on Wednesday, 08.03.11, we at least got a name and assurance that full details about Kutcher’s character would be revealed over the course of a two-episode arc. Beyond that, [CBS Entertainment President Nina] Tassler dodged just about every Sheen-related question TV reporters threw at her.

First, she tried the soft touch: “Who could have predicted that we’d be here in six months?” she asked somewhat rhetorically.

Answer: we did, particularly after the Winter Press Tour where Tassler and other executives assured us that Sheen was doing his job. If memory serves, she also told us that in spite of numerous reports of delayed episode production and bacchanalian parties fueled by hookers and cocaine, CBS had no reason to fire Sheen.

Tassler went on to dodge subsequent queries about the Sheen debacle by simply saying that the producers of “Two and a Half Men,” and the network, were only interested in moving forward. She would not confirm or deny that Sheen’s character Charlie Harper will die a fiery death in the season opener. Instead, she showered compliments on Kutcher, calling him “committed to doing the job, committed to being there,” and assured us that the show is written and produced so well that she’s confident it’ll move on smoothly." - IMDb.com

Personally, I think a wet blanket is a better actor then Kutcher. He always has the same facial expressions and is only good for the kiddy slapstick stuff. He might run the show into the ground.
