Sheen was born in Dayton, Ohio, on August 3, 1940, with an unfortunate delivery complication in which his left arm was crushed by the forceps, limiting his lateral movement and making him three inches shorter than his right arm.

His mother, Mary Ann, is from Ireland, and his father, Francisco Estevez, is from Spain. He had polio as a child, which forced him to spend a year in bed. He was raised as a Catholic and graduated from Chaminade High School after his mother died when he was 11 years old.

Despite his father’s disapproval, Sheen was committed to acting and moved to New York City in his early twenties with the help of money borrowed from a catholic priest. He met Dorothy Day, a Catholic activist, there and joined the social justice march.

He also purposefully failed the University of Dayton entrance exams in order to pursue his acting career. Martin Sheen was created by combining the names of Robert Hale, a casting director who gave him his first break, and Fulton J. Sheep, a televangelist archbishop.
