MARTIN SHEEN has seen the apocalypse at close range and has been president of the United States. But all of that was in his acting career.
On Friday, Sheen, 79, showed up in Washington DC to protest against the most apocalyptical event of our times — the climate crisis.
Sheen is best known for his lead role in the 1979 Francis Ford Coppola Vietnam war epic, Apocalypse Now, and for playing the US president in the popular television series, The West Wing, which ran from 1999-2006.
