Childhood and adolescence

Charlie was born to acclaimed Hollywood actor Martin Sheen and actress-producer Janet Estévez (née Templeton). Martin's real name is Ramón Gerard Antonio Estévez, which he changed to honor Catholic archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Martin named his son Carlos Irwin at birth, but Charlie followed his father's lead and adopted the stage name we know today. That's how audiences know him today.

In middle school, Charlie joined the basketball team and showed such talent that his coach thought he could go pro. Charlie, however, preferred being in front of the camera to being on the basketball court—like all of Martin's children, he was drawn to acting and television.

Charlie made his acting debut at just nine years old in the TV drama "The Execution of Private Slovik" and became so fascinated by the filming process that he started experimenting with his father's camera and making short films.

Acting Career

In 1979, Martin was filming in the Philippines and brought Charlie along to the set. This experience changed everything for the aspiring actor. He landed a small role as an extra in Francis Ford Coppola's epic war drama "Apocalypse Now." The production was notoriously difficult—leading actor Marlon Brando arrived on set overweight and unprepared, while Martin suffered a near-fatal heart attack. Still, appearing in such an epic project sealed Charlie's fate and opened doors to the film world.

Charlie was so focused on his acting career that he neglected high school entirely, getting expelled for poor grades and attendance just weeks before graduation. He hit every audition he could, and in 1984 landed a role in the Cold War teen drama "Red Dawn" alongside established stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

For the next few years, Charlie appeared in low-budget (and frankly terrible) films like the unreleased sequel "Grizzly II: The Predator" and had a small role in the teen comedy "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," until landing a part in Oliver Stone's anti-war film "Platoon" in 1986. It became the first film of a trilogy of Vietnam War films directed by Stone, and Charlie portrayed a soldier, named Chris Taylor. The film was both a commercial and critical hit, bringing recognition to Charlie and fellow rising stars Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe.

In 1987, Charlie landed another Stone-directed film, the drama «Wall Street», where he starred alongside Michael Douglas. Charlie planned to star in the upcoming Stone's biographical war drama «Born on the Fourth of July» and was even approved for the leading role, but Stone changed his mind at the last second and chose Tom Cruise instead.

By the late '90s, his struggles with drugs and alcohol became the main reason his casting opportunities dried up. After multiple hospitalizations and several stints in rehab, Charlie began rebuilding his acting career. He landed roles in solid films.
