Angus T. Jones, who plays young Jake Harper on the raunchy CBS sitcom, has dismissed the hit show as "filth," and urged viewers to turn it off.
In a video posted on YouTube by the Forerunner Christian Church, Jones called Jake Harper "a nonexistent character ... If you watch 'Two and a Half Men,' please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men.' I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it."
Halfway through the church's 14-minute video, Jones described the show he has starred on since 2003 as "filth."
"You can’t be a God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can’t," he said.
He added, "Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to television, and especially with what you watch."

Jones, who recently turned 19, was television's highest paid child stars. He earned up to $300,000 per episode of "Two and a Half Men."
Jones and co-stars Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer reportedly signed one-year contracts in May when the show was renewed for its 10th – and possibly final – season.
