Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez was born on August 3, 1940, in Dayton, Ohio. He's the seventh of 10 children from a poor, but close-knit, Catholic family. His Irish mother died when he was 11.

Career:
Sheen toured Europe with the Living Theatre group in 1961 and starred on Broadway before moving to Hollywood. His big break came in Terrence Malick's 1973 cult classic Badlands. He had a heart attack while filming 1979's Apocalypse Now, and later became a passionate campaigner on human rights issues. He's since featured in projects such as Gandhi, miniseries Kennedy, Wall Street (alongside son Charlie) and Catch Me If You Can. Sheen starred as a White House aide in romantic comedy The American President, which led to him being cast as the US leader in acclaimed TV drama The West Wing. He had a small but eye-catching part in Oscar-laden cop movie The Departed. He has also starred in Bobby and The Way, both directed by his son Emilio Estevez. He played Ben Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).
Quote:
On his son Charlie's wild ways: 'I absolutely believe that he'll come through it'.
Trivia:
Has played American presidents four times; Jed Bartlett on The West Wing (1999), in the TV movie Medusa's Child (1997), as John F. Kennedy in the miniseries Kennedy (1983), and as the 'future' president (in a premonition) Greg Stilson in The Dead Zone (1983).

Career:

He's since appeared in Quills, Trinity and Perfect. Arguably his biggest British TV role came in NY-LON. He began to get noticed in Hollywood thanks to the miniseries The Starter Wife. He's played vampire Bill in American drama True Blood since 2008, although he's no stranger to televisual vampires having appeared in two episodes of Ultraviolet in 1998.
Quote:
'I'll get 10 or 11-year-olds coming up and asking for my autograph, and I say, ‘Have you seen that show?' and they go, ‘Yeah, love it.' I couldn't sit in the same room as my mother and watch that show. I mean, it's seriously racy!'
