Born in September 1965, Sheen is the youngest son of legendary actor Martin Sheen and is also brothers with Emilio Estevez. His father, Martin Sheen adopted the name Sheen, in honour of an archbishop and Charlie followed in the footsteps of his father and did the same.

He also showed an interest in acting and making movies with his brother Emilio, along with their friends Chris Penn, Rob and Chad Lowe.
Sheen’s on-screen as well as off-screen career has been nothing short of tumultuous. He has been on the wrong side of the law more times than some care to remember and has made incredible strides to get back into form making his television career a good success.
