EMILIO ESTEVEZ

Emilio Estevez rose to fame when he landed a big role in The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo’s Fire. Estevez came from a family of actors— all of whom probably contributed to his success in the acting industry. Did you know that he is the brother of Charlie Sheen and the son of Martin Sheen? Of course, when your immediate relatives become your mentors, you best believe that you’re given full time and attention to bettering your craft. Miserably, the degree of his popularity rapidly declined throughout his career.

Because of this, the former ’80s cult classic icon needed to find other means of sustenance and work. This led him to start working behind the scenes as a director ultimately. His directorial debut in the 1986 production of Wisdom received mixed reviews from movie critics. Currently, Estevez has been directing a few episodes of Cold Case, Numb3rs, CSI: NY, Close to Home, and The Guardian.
