LOS ANGELES

Charlie Sheen was fired Monday from “Two and a Half Men” by Warner Bros. Television after repeated misbehavior and weeks of the actor’s angry, often-manic media campaign against his studio bosses.

The action was taken after “careful consideration” and is effective immediately, the studio said in a statement. No decision has been made on the show’s future without its star, said Paul McGuire, a Warner spokesman.

The actor, who has used TV, radio and social media to create a big megaphone for himself, was not silent for long.

In a text to The Associated Press, Sheen responded with the F-word and “They lose,” followed by the word “Trolls.” Asked if he planned to sue, Sheen texted back, “Big.” As for his next move, Sheen texted, “A big one.”

Sheen might be out of work, but he’s hiring.

Shortly before the announcement that he had been fired Monday, the actor tweeted that he wants to hire an intern to assist him. The tweet is a paid-for endorsement from the year-old website Internships.com.

“I’m looking to hire a winning INTERN with TigerBlood,” read the message.

The posting on Internships.com describes the position as a paid, eight-week job for the summer to “work closely with Charlie Sheen in leveraging his social network.”
