Charlie Sheen has filed a $100 million lawsuit against WB Studio Enterprises Inc. and Chuck Lorre Productions Inc., citing a California labor code provision rarely deployed in entertainment disputes to bring claims on behalf of the cast and crew of “Two and a Half Men.”

He seeks allegedly unpaid compensation and punitive damages.
