Sheen is a special envoy to Front Line International Foundation for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders. A fervent promoter of the principles of Catholic social thought in word and in action, his passion for activism and its necessary place in today’s humanitarian and social arenas has inspired generations. For over four decades, he has been an ardent supporter of causes that advocate peace and encourage justice throughout the world. |

He earned an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of the deserter in “The Execution of Private Slovik.” In 1979, Sheen’s turn as a military assassin sent to terminate the command of a crazed Marlon Brando in Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now” remains one of his signature roles. Despite the time devoted to social justice, his output of film and TV roles has never slowed. He donated his salary for his work on “Gandhi “(1982) to various charities and he portrayed a union official father at odds with the insider trading world of his financier son (Charlie) in Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” (1987). He has played over 100 roles, including such films as “Badlands,” “Catch Me If You Can,” “The Departed,” “Bobby” and “The Way” a film written and directed by his son, Emilio Estevez. Their published father/son memoir “Along the” Way was released in May 2012.
