Biography: Charlie Sheen is an American actor who rose to fame through a series of successful films in the 1980s and 90s. He is perhaps most known for his television roles, notably on the sitcoms Spin City, where he replaced Michael J. Fox, and Two and a Half Men, where his performance as Charlie Harper earned him several Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations.

Sheen's career took off after his role in Platoon (1986), a war film directed by Oliver Stone. He continued to establish himself as a leading man in Hollywood with roles in films like Wall Street (1987), again with Stone, and Major League (1989). Sheen's success in the film industry paved the way for his later television roles, solidifying his place in the entertainment industry.

However, Sheen's career has been marked by controversy, much of it stemming from his personal life. His struggles with substance abuse and his public dismissal from Two and a Half Men received widespread media attention. Following his departure from the show, Sheen had a brief stint with his own sitcom, Anger Management.
