Charlie Sheen thinks his ex-wife Denise Richards is in need of some Anger Management.

Sheen has tapped his former spouse to guest star in his new FX comedy series, which is set to debut on Thursday, June 28 at 9/8c with back-to-back episodes.

Richards will play Lori, the new business partner of Charlie’s onscreen ex, Jennifer (Shawnee Smith).

Loosely based on the 2003 Jack Nicholson/Adam Sandler movie, Anger finds Sheen playing Charlie Goodson, a former baseball player with rage issues who himself ends up as an unconventional anger management therapist. The cast also includes Selma Blair as a therapist and possible love interest to Sheen’s character.
