Kehidupan awal
Sheen was born in Dayton, Ohio, son of Mary-Ann (nÃÆ' Â © e Phelan; 1903-1951) and Francisco EstÃÆ'Â © vez MartÃÆ'nez (1898-1974). During birth, Sheen's left arm is smashed with forceps, giving him limited lateral movement on the arm, which is three inches (7.6 cm) shorter than his right (Erb's palsy). Both Sheen's parents are immigrants; his mother from Borrisokane, County Tipperary, Ireland; and his father was born in Salceda de Caselas, Galicia, Spain. After moving to Dayton in the 1930s, his father was a factory worker/machine supervisor at the National Cash Register Company. Sheen grew up on Brown Street in the South Park neighborhood, one in ten children (nine men and women). Due to his father's work, the family lives in Bermuda at St. John's Road, Pembroke, where five of his brothers were born. Martin was the first child born in Dayton, Ohio, after the family returned from Bermuda. Sheen contracted polio as a child and had to stay in bed for a year. His doctor's care using Sister Kenny's method helped him regain the use of his legs.
When she was eleven, Sheen's mother died, and the children were facing the possibility of living in an orphanage or an orphanage. The family can remain together with the help of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dayton. Raised as a Catholic, he graduated from Chaminade High School (now Chaminade Julienne Catholic School). At the age of fourteen, he organized a golf caddies strike while working at a private golf club in Dayton, Ohio. He complains about golfers: "They often use obscene language in front of us... we are small children and they are rude... anti-Semitic.... And they are, for the most part, respected members of society."
Sheen was interested in acting at a young age, but her father did not approve of her interest in this field. Despite his father's opposition, Sheen borrowed money from a Catholic priest and moved to New York City in his early twenties, hoping to make him an actor. In New York he met with legendary Catholic activist Dorothy Day. Working with the Catholic Workers Movement, he commenced his commitment to social justice, and one day will continue to play Peter Maurin, one of the founders of the Catholic Workers Movement, in Entering the Angels: The Dorothy Day Story . Sheen deliberately failed the Dayton University entrance exam so she could pursue her acting career.
He adopted his stage name, Martin Sheen, from a combination of CBS casting director Robert Dale Martin, who gave him his first big break, and the televangelist archbishop, Fulton J. Sheen. In a 2003 interview Inside Studio Actor , Sheen explained,
Every time I will make an appointment, whether it is a job or an apartment, and I will give my name, there is always that doubt and when I get there, it is always missing. So I thought I had enough trouble trying to get an acting job, so I found Martin Sheen. It's still Estevez official. I never changed it officially. I will never do it. It's on my driver's license and passport and everything. I started using Sheen, I thought I would give it a try, and before I realized it, I started earning a living with it and then it was too late. In fact, one of my regrets is that I do not keep my name as it was given to me. I know it annoys my dad.

Family life and abortion
In a 2011 interview with RTÃÆ' â € "Sheen stated that his wife was conceived through rape, and if her mother foiled her, or threw her in the Ohio River as she had considered, her wife would not exist. He also revealed that his three grandchildren were conceived out of wedlock, saying that his son "was not happy at the time but they came to love these children.We have three grown-up grandchildren, two of whom are married, they are some from sources the greatest [sic] joy in our lives. "He also expressed his empathy for women facing an unexpected pregnancy, and that he was not opposed to their right to an abortion:
I can not make choices for women, especially pregnant women who are black or brown or poor. I will not make any judgments in this case. As fathers and grandfathers, I have experiences with children who do not always come when they are planned, and I have experienced great joy in God's presence in my children, so I am inclined to resist any life abortion. But I am equally opposed to the death penalty or war - wherever people are sacrificed for some purpose that justifies the way. I do not think abortion is a good idea. I personally oppose abortion, but I will not judge the rights of others in that because I am not a woman and I can never face the real truth.
In a 2011 interview given to the Catholic World Report, he said that he considered himself pro-life:
It's a note issue with me. That is part of my faith. I'm a father, you know. When our three grandchildren were young, I used to be a grandfather at age 42 - and we do not have in-laws, we support these children who have come into our lives. We do not consider them less acceptable or ourselves less blessed. That's us. We know what the child can bring, whatever the circumstances. So [being pro-life] is a natural thing for us and a practical acceptance. My wife is not Catholic, but she is very pro-life. She's a mother and a grandmother. He knows what that means. There was never a question - never.
