BiographyCarlos Irwin Estévez (born September 3, 1965), known professionally as Charlie Sheen, is an American actor. He is known as a leading man in film and television. Sheen has received numerous accolades including a Golden Globe Award as well as nominations for four Primetime Emmy Awards and three Actor Awards. In 1994, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Charlie Sheen followed in the footsteps of his father Martin Sheen in becoming an actor. He starred in many successful films such as Red Dawn (1984), Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Eight Men Out (1988), Young Guns (1988), Major League (1989), Hot Shots! (1991), The Three Musketeers (1993), The Arrival (1996), and Money Talks (1997). In the 2000s, when Sheen replaced Michael J. Fox as the star of ABC's Spin City, his portrayal of Charlie Crawford earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. He then starred as Charlie Harper on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men (2003–11), for which he received many Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy nominations. In 2010, Sheen was the highest-paid actor on television, earning US$1.8 million per episode of Two and a Half Men.

In March 2011, Sheen was terminated from his Two and a Half Men contract by CBS and Warner Bros. following public substance-abuse problems, marital difficulties and comments made towards the series' creator, Chuck Lorre. In 2015, Sheen publicly revealed that he was HIV positive, which led to an increase in HIV prevention and testing that was dubbed the "Charlie Sheen effect". Post-Two and a Half Men, he starred in the FX sitcom series Anger Management (2012–14), and the films Machete Kills (2013) and 9/11 (2017).

In 2025, he was the subject of the Netflix documentary Aka Charlie Sheen and published a New York Times best-selling memoir, The Book of Sheen, which detailed his career and recovery.
