Childhood and adolescence

Charlie was born into the family of an acclaimed Hollywood actor Martin Sheen and an actress and a producer Janet Estévez (née Templeton). Martin’s father’s real name is Ramón Gerard Antonio Estévez, which he changed to a stage name in tribute to a Catholic archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Martin named his son Carlos Irwin at birth, but the boy followed in his father’s footsteps and changed his name to Charlie. And that is how the majority of the audience knows him today.

In middle school, Charlie joined a basketball team and was so good at the sport that his coach believed that he’d make a decent career out of it. Charlie, however, preferred being in front of the camera more than being on the basketball court, but then again, all Martin’s children committed to acting and television in one way or another.

Charlie made his acting debut at the ripe old age of nine in a television drama «The Execution of Private Slovik» and was so mesmerized by the filming process itself, that later began experimenting with his father’s camera and even made various short films.

Acting Career

In 1979 Martin was filming in the Philippines and brought Charlie along with him on set. This basically changed the life of the aspiring actor. He got a chance to be an extra in Francis Ford Coppola’s epic war drama «Apocalypse Now». The production of the film was noted to be extremely difficult and problematic as the leading actor, Marlon Brando arrived on the set overweight and completely unprepared, and Martin suffered a near-fatal heart attack. However, it was the appearance in such an epic project that determined Charlie’s fate and paved the way to the cinematography world.

Charlie was so focused on his future career that he completely ignored high school classes and was expelled from school for poor grades and attendance just a few weeks before graduation. He religiously went to all the castings, and eventually, in 1984 got a role in the Cold War teen drama «Red Dawn» alongside such acknowledged actors as Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

For the next couple of years, Charlie appeared in low-budget and, in all honesty, very bad films, such as the unreleased sequel «Grizzly II: The Predator» and a teen comedy «Ferris Bueller’s Day Off», until he was cast 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 a commercial and critical success and brought viewer’s recognition not only to Charlie but to other aspiring actors, such as Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe.

In 1987 Charlie appeared in another film, directed by Stone, drama «Wall Street», where he had a leading role, 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 the last second and chose Tom Cruise instead.

By the end of the ’90s, his drug and alcohol abuse problems were the main reason he wasn’t cast as much as he was before. He had to be hospitalized a couple of times and then, after several rehab check-ins, Charlie began re-establishing himself as an actor. He managed to get roles in solid films.
