Jennifer Taylor Gets Candid On Working With Charlie Sheen On 'Two And A Half Men'

Jennifer Taylor is opening up about her experience working on the CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men" alongside former co-star Charlie Sheen.

Although her new miniseries "Saved by Grace" seems to be a departure from the sitcom, Taylor said there was a connection between her two projects.

"Without 'Two and a Half Men,' I wouldn't be on 'Saved by Grace,'" Taylor, who played Chelsea Melini, the fiancée of Sheen's character Charlie Harper, in Seasons 6 and 7, told Fox News Digital.

Taylor said she got along "really well" with Sheen, who was fired from "Two and a Half Men" in Season 8 after making derogatory remarks about series creator Chuck Lorre. At the time, the actor had also entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction and was facing allegations of abuse from multiple women.

Taylor shared that she had nothing but positive experiences with the "9/11" star, whom she described as a "normal, fun, nice guy."

"When I was on it, the day-to-day experience was wonderful," she told Fox News Digital of working with Sheen. "I got along with Charlie really, really well. He did his job. He's very good at it. I also kind of had blinders on a little bit because I had two small children. I was finishing my bachelor's degree at the same time. I came to work, and I came home."

She explained that she didn't follow tabloids and wasn't aware of her co-star's troubles until "things started going a little haywire."

Taylor confirmed that there was "bad blood" between Lorre and Sheen but said she had good relationships with both as well as series co-lead Jon Cryer.

"Working on that sitcom was my first really big job. And I was just so glad to be there," she added. "I just look back on it with nothing but fond memories."

She continued, "I learned so much by watching them every day. I was just like, 'Am I really getting to work with these people?' I kept on waiting for them to figure out that I shouldn't be there."

Taylor was cast as Chelsea in 2008 amid the economic crisis. She said that she was struggling to find work at the time and had already planned to move out of Los Angeles with her family when she landed the role.

"We were going to move back home to Florida because things were really hard out here," she told the outlet. "We put our house up for sale, and then I'm like, 'All right, I'm going to go back to school.' I started studying again to finish my bachelor's and then, literally, seven days later, I got Chelsea. "So I said, OK, God, I guess we're not going anywhere yet. It was an answer to prayer."

Taylor, who also appeared in Adam Sandler's comedy "The Waterboy," the neo-noir thriller "Wild Things" and the spy TV series "Burn Notice," revealed in the same interview that she has been increasingly drawn to faith-based content.

In "Saved by Grace," she plays Grace, a divine being who intercedes in the lives of ordinary humans to help answer their prayers.

Taylor admitted that as she gets older, she has been thinking more and more "about the mark I'm leaving."

"Any acting job is a miracle and a blessing in itself, and I'm thrilled for that. But if it's something where I get to share my faith, that might help somebody down the road. There's just so much dark stuff on, and I think people are craving things that offer them something more," she added.

"Saved by Grace" streams on Pure Flix.
