Born and raised in the United States to immigrant parents, a first-generation Irish mother, Mary-Anne Phelan from Borrisokane in County Tipperary and a Galician father, Francisco Estévez from Vigo in Galicia (Spain), he adopted the stage name Martin Sheen to help him gain acting parts.

Although known as an actor, he has also directed one film, Cadence (1990), appearing alongside sons Charlie and Ramon.
