Kathy Bates to play Charlie's ghost on 'Men'

Charlie Sheen is "honoured" that Kathy Bates will play his ghost on 'Two and a Half Men'.

The troubled actor was fired from the sitcom last year partway through its eighth series after a fall out with its co-creator Chuck Lorre over his hedonistic lifestyle, and bosses plan to bring back the spirit of his character Charlie Harper in the new series, to be portrayed by the 'Misery' star.
