Actor   
The always entertaining and candid Charlie Sheen, 46, is back on TV with his new sitcom, Anger Management, a subject he knows something about.

He’s in a relaxed mood as he addresses his life now, his experience with therapy and, of course, anger management. The son of Martin Sheen has roots and family in Spain and a bar in Mexico but he doesn’t speak fluently. In Los Angeles we talk to the actor who for the  first time in his career is credited as Carlos Estevez in Robert’s Rodriguez movie Machete Kills.
