Other notable films in Sheen's career include Gettysburg (1993), The Departed (2006), and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).
He also starred in the television series The West Wing (1999–2006) as President Josiah Bartlet.
He is considered to be one of the best actors never to have been nominated for an Academy Award, although he did receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his role in Apocalypse Now but requested that the nomination be withdrawn.
In film, he has won the Best Actor award at the San Sebastián International Film Festival for his performance as Kit Carruthers in Badlands. His portrayal of Capt. Willard in Apocalypse Now earned a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor.
Sheen has worked with a wide variety of film directors, such as Richard Attenborough, Francis Ford Coppola, Terrence Malick, David Cronenberg, Mike Nichols, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Oliver Stone.

In television, he has won both a Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild awards for playing the role of President Josiah Bartlet in The West Wing, and an Emmy for guest starring in the sitcom Murphy Brown.
Born and raised in the United States from immigrant parents, he adopted the stage name Martin Sheen to help him gain acting parts.
He is the father of four children (Emilio, Ramón, Carlos (Charlie Sheen), and Renée), all of whom are actors, as is his younger brother Joe Estevez.
