I said the same thing in an earlier post. Sheen is a great actor. And not just in comedy, either. Don't forget "Wall Street" and "Platoon" back in the '80s.

The thing is, he has no stage background at all. He's never done standup. He's never done off-Broadway, let alone a Broadway type play. He's never done anything in front of a live audience. And getting up in front of a live audience is an entirely different animal than working in front of a camera. Very few actors can do both well (the most notable exception has to be Pacino).

I don't know what he or his audience were expecting. What I do know is that the jackals in the media fed this frenzy. Maybe now these suckers who shelled out for the tickets to his show will finally see the media for what they really are. A bunch of soulless leaches.
