Brett Butler is entering "Anger Management." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Grace Under Fire" star will recur on Charlie Sheen's new sitcom as Brett, the bartender at the local bar/restaurant Sheen's character frequents.
Butler, like Sheen, starred in a Chuck Lorre sitcom -- from 1993-1998, Butler starred in ABC's "Grace Under Fire" -- and clashed with the creator. Lorre was removed from the series, but the show was canceled as Butler dealt with an addiction to painkillers. In 2005 Butler appeared in an episode of "My Name Is Earl," but her series TV work has been limited since "Grace" ended.
Selma Blair and Shawnee Smith also star in "Anger Management." Sheen plays a former baseball player who becomes a therapist who specializes in anger management.
