Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1940, in Dayton Ohio, Ramon Gerard Antonio Estevez aka Martin Sheen was born!
His acting career has spanned six decades, earning him 3 Emmys, a Golden Globe, 4 Screen Actors Guild awards, and even a Tony nomination. He narrated many many documentaries and played President Kennedy in the 1983 miniseries "Kennedy". He's also incidentally, the father of Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez.
Some of the movies he's appeared in:
Catch-22
Apocolypse Now
The Final Countdown
Ghandi
Firestarter
Wall Street
JFK
Gettysburg
The American President
Spawn
The Departed
The Amazing Spider-Man
And of COURSE for 7 seasons he outstandingly protrayed Presdient Josiah Bartlet on one of the best tv shows ever made; The West Wing.
That alone would give him badass credentials. But in addition, he has liberal political positions and is not shy about sharing them. He's supposedly the most arrested celebrity in Hollywood, having been arrested 60 times at various political protests and demonstrations.
He portrayed a liberal president and has the convictions of his real life liberal political positions. Badass.
