Biography

Early life

Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estevez in New York City, the son of artist Janet (née Templeton) and actor Martin Sheen (who was born "Ramón Estévez").[1] His parents moved to Malibu, California after Martin Sheen's Broadway turn in The Subject was Roses. Sheen has two brothers and one sister, all of whom are actors: Emilio Estévez, Ramón Estévez Jr. and Renée Estévez.[1] Sheen attended Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica, California, where he was a star pitcher and shortstop for the baseball team.[1] He also showed an early interest in acting, making several Super-8 films with schoolmates Rob Lowe and early best friend Christopher Penn. Just a few weeks before graduation, Sheen was expelled from the school for poor grades and bad attendance.

Career

Sheen began acting in 1974 at the age of nine, appearing in a small role alongside his father in the TV movie The Execution of Private Slovik.[1] Sheen's film career began in 1984 with minor and supporting roles in films such as Red Dawn (1984), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), and his first major role, in Platoon (1986).[1] In 1987, he starred with his father in Wall Street.[1] In 1988, he appeared opposite his brother Emilio Estevez in Young Guns and again in 1990 in Men at Work. Also in 1990, he starred alongside Clint Eastwood in the buddy cop action film The Rookie.[1]

Sheen is perhaps best known for his comedy roles, including the Major League films, Money Talks and the spoof Hot Shots! films.[1] In 1999, Sheen played himself in the comedy Being John Malkovich.[1] He also recently appeared in the spoof series Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4. In 2001 and 2002, Sheen played the lead role in the political television sitcom, Spin City (as Michael J. Fox's replacement on that show). In 2002, he won the Golden Globe Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy" for this role.[2] Sheen has been playing the role of Charlie Harper on the sitcom Two and a Half Men, which debuted in 2003.[1]

Personal life

Sheen and his former girlfriend Paula Profit, had a daughter together, Cassandra Jade Estevez (born 1985), but did not marry. In 1990, Sheen accidentally shot his then-fiancée, Kelly Preston, in the arm; she suffered only a minor injury requiring two stitches. The relationship ended shortly thereafter. In 1993, his name was found among Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss's list of her most frequent customers, and it was revealed that Sheen hired highly compensated prostitutes from escort agencies. During this time, it was reported that he was addicted to cocaine.[3] In the Empire magazine interview, he stated that he took a bullet for the industry when he was called to the court to testify.

In 1995, Sheen married Donna Peele. The marriage lasted a little more than a year--September 3, 1995 to November 19, 1996. In 1996, Sheen announced that he had become a born-again Christian.

Although Sheen was involved with a number of Hollywood personalities, his long-term relationship with Ginger Lynn in the late 1990s garnered the most media attention. He was also involved for a time with former porn star Heather Hunter. On June 15, 2002, he married actress Denise Richards after meeting her while filming Good Advice in 2001. They have two daughters, Sam J. Sheen (born March 9, 2004)[4] and Lola Rose Sheen (born June 1, 2005).[5] On April 19, 2006, Denise Richards filed for divorce from Sheen.[6] Sheen and Richards's divorce was official on November 30, 2006.[7]

Sheen and Richards are engaged in an acrimonious custody dispute over their two daughters, with Richards requesting a custody evaluation, no overnight visits for Sheen, and authority to make decisions regarding the care of the children. Richards alleges abusive behavior by Sheen toward her and staff, paranoid behavior regarding the care of the children, and that he continues to have sizeable gambling and alleged drug addictions.[8] Sheen alleges that Richards requested sperm from him in order to have another child. [9]

Sheen was the 2004 spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day breast cancer fundraiser that raised millions of dollars for research and education regarding the disease. Sheen stated that a friend of his died due to breast cancer, and he wanted to try to help find a cure for the disease.

As of 2007, Sheen is engaged to Brooke Mueller, a real estate investor.[10]

9/11 truth movement involvement

On March 20, 2006, Sheen revealed during an Alex Jones interview that he questions the "official story" concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks. Sheen stated during the interview, "...it just didn't look like any commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life and then when the buildings came down later on that day I said to my brother, 'Call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?'"[11] During a March 22, 2006 appearance on CNN's Showbiz Tonight, Sheen stated "...19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 percent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory".[12]

"Living Legend of Sex"

In a 1997 Empire magazine interview, Sheen was asked what was the largest number of people Sheen had sex with at any one time. He replied: "...five girls at once. It was a pile-up...and it wasn't so much about going Caligula, it was very organized. Very ordered...all six people in that room came out of it pretty satisfied".[13] Sheen was listed as #2 on Maxim's "Top 10 Living Legends of Sex", citing an alleged 5,000 women that he has slept with.[14]
