Martin Sheen is celebrating his 84th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Martin Sheen (The West Wing, Wall Street, Apocalypse Now, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 84th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Sheen, a cultural icon

Born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez in Dayton on August 3, 1940, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Sheen's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Martin hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Martin Sheen as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 84.

Happy Birthday, Martin, you're the best!
