One of the finest actors in recent decades, on both the big and small screens, Martin Sheen has multiple Emmy (10 nominations, 1 win) and Golden Globe (8 nominations) nominations and awards.

Born Ramon Antonio Gerardo Estevez in Dayton, Ohio, he suffered an injury at birth that left one of his arms inches shorter than the other, and with limited range of motion. Growing up one of ten children in Dayton, Estevez wanted to be an actor, despite opposition from his father. In his early 20s he borrowed money from a Catholic priest and moved to New York City to pursue a career, after deliberately failing the entrance exam for the University of Dayton.

Over his career to date Sheen has narrated or appeared in 115 feature films, narrated or appeared in 41 documentaries and starred or guest starred in 33 television shows. That has not stopped him, however, from his political and social activism. In fact, Sheen is quoted as saying that “While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.”

His political activities have caused him to be arrested 66 times (as of 2010) for protesting and acts of civil disobedience, including trespassing at a Nevada nuclear site.

Sheen has shown himself capable of playing presidents, priests and privates, generals, gangsters and grandfathers. Here’s looking forward to many more scripts to come.
