Charlie Sheen is the son of actor Martin Sheen, and a movie star in his own right thanks to the Oliver Stone films Platoon (1986) and Wall Street (1987). Since then his appearances in the tabloids have rivalled his appearances on the big screen; as played out in the gossip columns, Sheen's life has been a wild ride that includes cocaine, high-priced prostitutes and an accidental shooting (in 1990 -- his then-girlfriend, Kelly Preston, was wounded). All the while, Sheen has been appearing in movies, hits and misses that include dramas such as Eight Men Out (1988, with David Strathairn) and The Arrival (1996), and comedies such as Major League (1989) and Hot Shots (1991). After a string of so-so performances and a much-publicized drug problem, Sheen had a comeback of sorts by 2000, poking fun at himself in the film Being John Malkovich (1999, starring John Cusack) and replacing Michael J. Fox in the TV series Spin City. Sheen landed his own comedy series in 2003, the sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Charlie Sheen already went to court in an attempt to keep his kids out of their mom's reality show. Now he's only Half-joking when he says audiences should boycott ex-wife Denise Richards' upcoming series.After a failed attempt to put the legal kibosh on his daughters' inclusion, he mentioned to People that "we should all just boycott the thing!" He added, "The world is upside down sometimes." While Sheen's disappointment is understandable, he's a little late to the game. "Upside down" might have started a little before the legal ruling, like maybe when he called Richards "diabolical" over her allegations about his porn habit, among other previous problems. Or perhaps it all just started on day one: Sheen ... allegedly sawed their wedding pic in half and spray-painted across it "The Dumbest Day of My Life."
