The 45-year-old actor has announced that he will play a “mild-mannered, non-confrontational man”, who is ordered to attend group anger-management sessions, in the new comedy sitcom.
It will be Sheen's first acting role since he was fired from hit CBS show Two And A Half Men earlier this year following a string of public run-ins with his bosses.
“I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play someone with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept,” Sheen said.
The show will see the Wall Street star reunited with producer Joe Roth, with whom he worked on Major League and Young Guns.
No TV network has yet bought the comedy.
