After his alcohol and drug-fueled half-decade, Martin Sheen's return to Catholicism saw the actor return to activist values. Sheen has protested the Iraq War, political oppression in Central America, the death penalty, abuses by the Israeli Army, and engaged in more pacifist and liberal causes (via The Progressive). His dedication to nonviolent civil disobedience has followed him throughout his career, leading to over 70 arrests throughout his life, according to IMDb.

Sheen has had a long and illustrious career in film and television, with iconic roles under his belt that show his impressive rise from having to pick a Caucasian-sounding name just to find some work. After a difficult childhood and battle with drug abuse, Sheen was able to overcome his vices and stick to his pacifist values throughout his career. However, he now has to deal with his son going through the same issues with drinking and drugs as he once did, with no sight of Charlie's problems letting up.
