Emmanuelle Vaugier as Mia | Then
A sign of social progress thematic to the now outmoded stories told throughout Two and a Half Men, the relationship between Sheen’s character and ‘Mia’ speaks a narration language that would come under enormous scrutiny if portrayed in 2020. Sheen sets his sights on the attractive Mia, concocting a contrived plan to bed her by having his nephew, Jake, take dancing lessons in her class. Speaking only further to a chauvinistic undertone Charlie gives in to a list of trivial demands to woe her. The relationship ends when he is inevitably and characteristically caught lying to her. There is some degree of vindication to this otherwise boorish sub-plot, and that is in the portrayal of Mia. Her character remains strong, independent, and decisive in her personal sense of morality.
Emmanuelle Vaugier as Mia | Now
Vaugier was inarguably impressed in her portrayal of Mia and found a multitude of opportunities in the wake of her stint on the show. She was featured in Maxim’s ‘Hot 100 List’ after shooting to superstardom resulting from her roles on ‘Lost Girl’, ‘One Tree Hill’ and ‘Rogue’. She also found success on the big screen with roles in ‘Destruction Los Angeles’ and ‘Washed Away’. Currently working on the thriller titled ‘Masks Don’t Lie, she resides in Italy. Suffice it to say she had not kept in touch with Sheen after Two and a Half Men.
