INTRODUCTION



With Martin Sheen for a father, it's not surprising that Charlie Sheen became a film and TV star. Yet this bad-boy actor is even more famous for his off-screen antics. Although he made asplash in a succession of '80s blockbusters (Wall Street, Young Guns, Platoon), Sheen also struggled with drinking and drug use. 
A leading man who has displayed a knack for action, comedy, and dramatic roles, Charlie Sheen is nearly as well known for his off screen exploits as for his acting, though after suffering through scandals that would have ended many performers' careers,he overcame bad press and bad habits to enjoy a major comeback on television in the late '90s.

Charlie Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estévez on September 3, 1965, in New York City.

Just a few weeks before his scheduled graduation date, Charlie wasexpelled due to poor attendance and bad grades.
After high school, Charlie aggressively pursued many acting roles. His first major role was as a high school student in the teen war film “Amanhecer Violento” (1984).

He drew rave reviews for his portrayal of a young soldier who is caught in the center of a moral crisis in Vietnam.
The success of Platoon (1986) prompted Oliver Stone to cast Charlie in his next movie Wall Street – “Poder e Cobiça” (1987) alongside his father and veteran actor Martin Sheen. The movie with its "Greed is Good" theme became an instant hit with...
