Playing the role of Rose, Melanie Lynskey was a popular character during her stint on Two and a Half Men. She appeared in 63 episodes between 2003 and 2015. Despite her popularity on the show and success playing Rose, Lynskey had a different experience behind the scenes. According to the star, she was barely paid anything – and was discouraged from taking on other roles at the time.

“When the show got picked up, they asked me to be a regular; that was a harder decision. But everyone around me was like, ‘Wow, this is great, congratulations.’ So I decided to try it on.”

“It was literally the least they could possibly pay me, according to SAG,” she continued. “I did one season, and I thought, ‘Oh, this is not for me.’ It felt very hard knowing that most of my year was gonna be this.”

A truly warm and generous man. Rest In Peace, sir,” she wrote in a recent tweet.”

The same holds true for Simpson, who has referred to his ex-wife as a ‘dear friend’ in other interviews.
