Carlos Estevez, better known as Charlie Sheen, is one actor, who needs no introduction. Having entered the industry at the tender age of nine, his checkered career has a host of films and television series to boast of, for which he also earned multiple awards and nominations. His life has been a matter of public discussion ever since he came out clean on his HIV infection, but that did not deter the Bad Boy of Hollywood, born with a silver spoon, to live life on his own terms.

Sheen has done a number of films ever since he stepped into the world of cinema and appeared in lead roles as well as supporting roles and also in a long list of cameos.
