Charlie Sheen sued Warner Bros. and the executive producer of his show “Two and a Half Men” Chuck Lorre Thursday for $100 million to recover his salary as well as those of the cast and crew.

Sheen sued the company for breach of contract for halting production of the CBS sitcom as a punishment for the actor’s recent demeanor where he was hospitalized a couple of times as well as for attacking the show’s executive producer Chuck Lorre in a series of interviews. Marty Singer, Charlie Sheen’s attorney, defended his client by saying that most of the instances cited by Warner Bros. happened before the actor started his tirades against Lorre.

The lawsuit came four days after Charlie Sheen was fired from “Two and a Half Men” jeopardizing the future of the top rating show in the process. The actor’s lawsuit claims that Warner Bros. acceded to Lorre’s aim to reprimand Sheen and the two joined forces in blaming the actor resulting to the stoppage of production.

Lorre’s termination letter mentioned health concerns as the primary reason. Singer said that it was not right for CBS to terminate Sheen because he had the physical and mental issues mentioned in the letter as he was ready and had the capacity to work.

Singer said that Sheen filed the lawsuit for the sake of the show’s cast members and crew who was left with no work. Although they are not involved in the case, the actor is seeking reimbursement for the people who lost income due to the action of Warner Bros. and the show’s executive producer.

Warner Bros last week said that it would reimburse the salaries of the show’s crew for half of the eight shows it canceled for the season. Howard Weitzman, Lorre’s attorney, said that the actor’s claims and verbal rantings are “recklessly false and unwarranted.” The claims are simply imaginary.

Aside from the $100 million for damages, Charlie Sheen also wants to get punitive damages. He then brought his case to Twitter after filing the case. His tweet was “Fastball: Torpedo away… You corporate Trolls were warned. And now you’ve been served!”

Charlie Sheen’s previous contract, executed last May, entitles the actor to salaries regardless of whether the show produces 24 episodes every season until the latter part of 2011. Singer claimed that the actor was ready to quit the show last year but the management wanted him to come back despite accusations of domestic violence against former wife Brooke Mueller.
