Although Cryer gained fame with his early film roles, it took several years to find success on television as none of his star vehicles, including "The Famous Teddy Z", "Partners", and "The Trouble with Normal", lasted more than 22 episodes. In 2003, Cryer was cast in a co-leading role as Alan Harper on the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men", a major hit for twelve seasons for which he won two Primetime Emmy Awards (2009 and 2012). Cryer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television in 2011.
