Jenna Elfman, late of "Looney Tunes: Back in Action," is returning, at least briefly, to the sitcom world.
The former "Dharma & Greg" star will appear on two episodes of CBS' "Two and a Half Men" later this season, playing a woman who comes between brothers Charlie (Charlie Sheen) and Alan (Jon Cryer). The role reunites her with "Dharma" creator Chuck Lorre, who also created "Two and a Half Men."
"I'm thrilled to be working again with Chuck Lorre on a fantastic show in a role that's fun, sexy and challenging," Elfman says in a statement.
Elfman will play a smart, sexy woman who may be a little looney tunes herself but nonetheless draws the eye of both Charlie and Alan. Viewers will find out who she really is at the end of her first episode, then see the messy situation escalate in the second. Air dates haven't been set.
Elfman earned three Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe win for "Dharma & Greg," where she played a free-spirited hippie child married to a WASPy lawyer (Thomas Gibson). Her other credits include "Can't Hardly Wait," "Keeping the Faith" and the 2002 Lifetime movie "Obsessed."
