Martin Sheen Facts
His father, Francisco Estevez, died shortly before the premiere of "Blind Ambition" (1979). As he was unable to attend the funeral, Martin mourned his father in the scene in which John Dean cries in his jail cell.

One of his earliest successes as an actor was playing the role of Timmy Cleary in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "The Subject Was Roses" on Broadway, for which he was nominated for the 1965 Tony Award for Supporting or Featured Actor in a Drama. He also played the same role in the 1968 film version. Forty-six years later, in 2010, he again appeared in a production of "The Subject Was Roses," but this time playing the role of John Cleary, Timmy's father (and this time in Los Angeles instead of New York).

Stumped in Florida for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Janet Reno in her unsuccessful campaign against sitting Gov. Jeb Bush, June 2002. Reno also drew major support from Rosie O'Donnell and Elton John.
