‘Two and a Half’ Kid Mulls Quitting Acting

“It’s always come naturally to me, but I don’t know if I want to do this as a career.”–Angus T. Jones

The (formerly) chubby kid with the adorable grin usually steals ‘Half’ the laughs on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ and the long-running joke remains, what will happen to the show when they have three men?

The time has almost come.

Seven years after landing the role of Jake on the CBS sitcom, Angus T. Jones has grown up before the audience’s eyes: He’s now a 16-year-old sophomore with a drivers’ license, who stands 5 ft. 7 in. tall–and has his eye on college. (A child star who’s staying out of rehab? Yay!)

“I don’t know what I’m going to take or where I’m going to go,” Jones says in a new profile with the L.A. Times. “I’m not really sure. I don’t really know if I want to do acting as a career.”

The teen reportedly earns $1.2 million per season, so for him to consider giving it all up makes us love him even more.

But Jones has a little bit more time to figure things out.

‘Men’ is renewed for two more seasons, which will be the same time that Jones graduates from high school. According to the Times, co-creator Chuck Lorre “has long said the show would likely end when Jake goes to college.”

We can’t really picture wild Uncle Charlie (Charlie Sheen) and neurotic dad Alan (Jon Cryer) as empty nesters, so expect producers to try and keep Jake Harper as unmotivated and uneducated as possible.
