Melanie Lynskey may have stolen our hearts in 'Two and a Half Men,' but the experience was far from heartwarming for her.
Esteemed actor Melanie Lynskey is known for her long-running role as Rose in the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men, and will also be recognized for her recent role as the chillingly cutthroat Kathleen on The Last of Us. Many audiences enjoyed her portrayal as the softly spoken and quirky Rose, whose storyline saw her character alternate between being Charlie Harper's stalker and his love interest during the series.
Melanie Lynskey Felt Undervalued and Underpaid Melanie Lynskey's experience on Two and a Half Men did not get off to a good start. She soon discovered that her pay was far from ideal; in fact, according to SAG , the show was paying her the lowest fee possible. Considering our awareness surrounding feminist issues in recent years, this is unfortunately not too surprising.
Lynskey Was Unable to Leave Her Character Behind Alongside the crushing realization that she was not going to enjoy working in this part, Lynskey was also met with the harsh reality check that she would not have the freedom to work on other preferred and better-suited projects. When voicing her desire to leave, the success of the show put dampeners on this valid request, with its first season earning it an impressive 9.9 rating.
In fact, it wasn't until the series' end in 2015 that Lynskey was fully freed of her obligation, as up to that point, she had still been appearing in a minimum of one episode per season.
