Carlos Irwin Estevez (born September 3, 1965), better known by his [[Stage Names]] Charlie Sheen, is an American actor. He is the son of acclaimed actor [[Martin Sheen]], brother of rather less acclaimed actor [[Emilio Estevez]], and nephew of even less well acclaimed actor [[Joe Estevez]]. If you ask him, [[Cloudcuckoolander|Adonis and tigers somehow figure into his ancestry as well]].
 
His character roles in films have included Chris Taylor in the 1986 Vietnam War drama ''[[Platoon]]'', Jake Kesey in the 1986 film ''The Wraith'', and Bud Fox in the 1987 film ''[[Wall Street]]''. His career has also included more comedic films, such as ''[[Major League]]'', the ''[[Hot Shots]]'' films, and ''[[Scary Movie]] 3'' and ''4''. He also had a small role in ''[[Ferris BuellersBueller's Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]].'' On television, Sheen is known for [[The Danza|his roles]] on two sitcoms: as Charlie Crawford on ''[[Spin City]]'' and as [[The Danza|Charlie]] Harper on ''[[Two and A Half Men]]''. As of 2010, Sheen was the highest-paid actor on television, earning $1.8 million per episode of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]''.
 
In 2010 he dove ''far'' off the deep end into self-destructive madness. He passed a urine test, which shows that his "unusual" behavior may not be due to (recent) drug use, a substance that quickly metabolizes, or withdrawal from drugs. A [[Twitter]] account he created garnered 80,000 followers before he ever wrote a thing, and raced right past the million mark in one day to 1.4 million followers, beating even Oprah.
 
Alternatively, he may be shrewdly transforming his strange self-destructive behavior into revenue: his "Torpedo of Truth" tour has garnished a fair amount of money, much of which Sheen has donated to charity.

=== {{tropelist|[[Charlie Sheen]] is infused with these [[Memetic Mutation|winning]] tropes: ===}}
 
* [[Ascended Meme]]: Cable stations are already using some of his... unusual quotes to advertise for ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' and ''[[Spin City]]'' re-runs.
** He has referred to his costars as "trolls", and "not trolls".
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
** Said incident was because one of the employees in the building saw Charlie Sheen there, grabbed his ornamental machete from his office, and asked him if he would. His reaction: ''Viva la revolucion!''
* [[Badass Spaniard]]: The tiger blood and Adonis DNA helps.
* [[Bored Withwith Insanity]]: According to himself
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Like his father, he took an English-sounding stage name for marketability. The sad thing is, compared to Emilio Estevez's lukewarm career, it seems to have worked.
* [[Casanova]]: His character on ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' and apparently in [[Real Life]] as well, though only to "goddesses and smoooookin' hotties".
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "winning" or something to do with his status as a Winner.
** Also seems fond of [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|High Priest Vatican Assassin Warlocks]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: See the "Charlie Sheen drug" quote above.
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Well, more of an actor breakdown. But, what the media never really emphasised is the fact that Charlie did basically have a massive, public breakdown. His outbursts can be seen as his way of getting out of a show he wanted to leave since the year before, [[Gone Horribly Right]].
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Or so he believes:
{{quote| '''Interviewer:''' Are you bi-polar?<br />
'''Sheen:''' Wow, what does that mean?... What's the cure? Medicine? [[Brought Down to Normal|Make me like them?]] Not going to happen. I'm bi-WINNING! I win here and I win there. }}
* [[The Danza]] / [[Meta Casting]] / [[Adam Westing]]: Based on recent events, he appears to be playing a ''toned down'' version of himself on ''[[Two and A Half Men]]''.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
** He's only on one drug called ''Charlie Sheen!'' You couldn't take it because your face would melt off and then you'd explode, but he's ''winning!!!''
** He's also said in a radio interview that crack is bad and you shouldn't take it ''unless you can handle it socially.''
<!-- %% Please do not add FountainOfMemes to the main page. It is already on the YMMV page. -->
* [[Hookers and Blow]]: A big part of his life.
* [[Hypocrite|Hypocrisy Fail]]: In the rant that lead to his being fired from ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'', Sheen mocked his producer Chuck Lorre for supposedly changing his name from "Chaim" to "Chuck" to fit in in Hollywood. Coming from someone who was born "Carlos Estevez", this rings a bit hollow. ([[Did Not Do the Research|Lorre's real name is Charles Levine]], for what it's worth.)
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: "Can't is the cancer of happen."
* [[Immune to Drugs]]: Again, so he believes:
{{quote| "I probably took more than anybody could survive... I was bangin' seven-gram rocks and finishing them because that's how I roll... I'm different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man... Dying's for fools, dying's for amateurs."}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Would ''anyone'' dispute this?
* [[Juggalo]]: [http://twitter.com/#!/charliesheen/status/88328956616507393 No, really].
* [[Large Ham]]: Although, funnily enough, not in his work. Oliver Stone hired him for Wall Street because he liked Charlie's 'stiff' acting style.
** He does slip into [[Large Ham]] mode at times in ''The Arrival'', especially near the end.
* [[McLeaned]]: His character on ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' was [[Killed Off for Real]].
* [[Off the Rails]]: His appearance on [[Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza]], in a sketch where the players take turns telling one line apiece of a fairy-tale type story. His line? {{spoiler|"Charlie Sheen fucks dead hookers!"}}
** The [[Comedy Central]] [[The Roast|roast]] of him used "Crazy Train" as a theme song.
* [[Role -Ending Misdemeanor]]: Took long enough.
** It might take Charlie a lot longer to admit that it's over. Still ''winning'' though!
* [[Stealth Parody]]: One look at the "Charlie Sheen Cooking Show" video he made and it's clear he might just be messing with [[Obfuscating Stupidity|everyone]]. He later stated on ''[[The Tonight Show]] with Jay Leno'' that he was just joking with saying things like he had "tiger blood" and "Adonis DNA".
