LOS ANGELES - Charlie Sheen's bizarre behavior is a purposeful attempt to goof on the TV hosts who are interviewing him, said William Shatner, a CBS colleague who stars in "$#+! My Dad Says."
Speaking on conservative film critic Michael Medved's syndicated radio program Thursday, Shatner said the "Two and a Half Men" star has not been behaving abnormally and, in fact, has been treated unfairly during some interviews.
"Looking at this publicity campaign he is waging to get his job back, get people paid and whatever, he seems perfectly normal," Shatner told Medved.
"He seems perfectly in the moment and not drugged. His manner of speaking, his cadence, his terms of expression are a little different," said Shatner. "But he's not crazy -- to my mind -- he's just jagged and putting the interviewers on."
Sheen's sitcom was canceled for the rest of the season last week after the actor ramped up his vitriolic campaign against the show's producers. He has since been campaigning for the show's production staff to be paid for the eight unproduced episodes.
Shatner said that he was appalled by one TV interviewer who was condemning Sheen by her "vocal inflection and facial expression."
"She had an attitude toward him that was not journalistic but prejudiced. And he was responding to that subliminal condemnation by being a smart ass."
"I know," Medved said at the conclusion of the interview, "that (Sheen) is going to appreciate the vote of confidence from somebody who is widely, universally, respected and beloved in the entertainment industry."
