Martin Sheen was born in August 1940. His mother was Irish and his father was Spanish. The boy's family was large - 8 brothers and a sister. They lived in Bermuda, and then moved to the United States, to Dayton, where Martin was born. He attended a private Catholic school in the suburbs of the city, and then, deliberately failed his entrance to the University of Dayton to pursue acting.
In 1959, despite his father's displeasure (his mother died when the boy was 11), flees to New York, where he tries himself on the theater stage, at the same time he starred in episodes of the following series: Camera three, On the threshold of night, Naked city, Highway 66, FBI.
