Sheen has had a long and distinguished career. He has starred in such films as Badlands (1973), Wall Street (1987), The American President (1995), The Departed (2006) and 2012’s The Amazing Spiderman. However, he is probably best known for his performance in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979) and his multi-award winning role as President Josiah Bartlet in TV’s The West Wing.
