Two and a Half Men fans of all eras will remember "Herb Melnick" — the second husband (and eventual ex) of "Judith," after she divorced "Alan" (Jon Cryer).
Beginning in season 2, "Herb" made up to a handful of appearances per season, sharing a close bond with "Alan," "Charlie," and "Jake," his stepson. He was known for his goofy nature and, sometimes, his womanizing ways. "Herb" regularly hit on "Lyndsey" and an affair led to his divorce from "Judith."
