In Anger Management, Sheen plays Charlie Goodson, a former pro baseball player whose anger-management issues sabotaged his own career. He then goes to college to become a therapist specializing in, you guessed it, anger management. He has an ex-wife, Jennifer (Shawnee Smith), who is smart and sarcastic but has terrible taste in men (which frustrates the now well-adjusted Charlie) because the two share custody of a 15-year-old daughter, Sam (Daniela Bobadilla) with OCD issues. Charlie adores his daughter, respects his ex-wife and constantly worries about them. Meanwhile, he’s pretty happy where he’s at, having no-strings-attached sex with Kate (Selma Blair), who happens to be his best friend as well as a fellow therapist (and then his own therapist).
This new Charlie Goodson has changed his life in a way that works for him, including doing pro bono work at the local prison for inmates with anger-management issues. Combined with the regulars in the group therapy sessions run out of his house, Charlie has no lack of people to bounce one-liners off of.
