Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now) 

People thought his performance was frightening? His performance as Captain Williard was one of the greatest performances in cinema history.

That Martin Sheen wasn't even nominated for best actor, for Apocalypse, Now, remains a great mysyery. One that I shall never understand.

Fuckin amazing! "I'm an alcoholic you know..." got to be a great person to say that on TV like that!

In this interview Martin Sheen mentions that he was too old for the role of Williard. It's amazing to me that as closely as I've watched this movie I never noticed that he was too old for the character. His role was so iconic I completely missed that fact.

thee greatest war movie of all time period ! Sorry "platoon" & "full metal" were great but this is the king. Duvalls performance alone ?

Definitely should've won best picture. It's a brilliant movie. The cinematography and directing alone are worthy not to mention the star studded cast and plot.

THE DOORS SOUNDTRACK IN THIS MOVIE, REALLY PUNCHED UP THE SCENE'S THAT WERE SURREAL.

It's crazy that both Martin and Charlie Sheen both who had their first big leading roles in Vietnam movies, 2 of the best Vietnam movies ever made.

Great actor..

Would never guess that Sheen was so insecure during the filming of this movie

Sheen was perfect as Willard - cant imagine anyone else to have played him

One of the greatest under-rated actors.

"I wanted a mission and for my sins they gave one and when it was all over I'd never want another one."

Charlie sheens narration on PLATOON ,always reminds me of martin sheens voice over on apocalypse now.

One of the best movies ever made. Should have gotten the Oscar for Best Picture in 1979.

Legendary actor. He was amazing as Willard.

Martin Sheen was absolutely brilliant in that role. We are all lucky that he was cast for that part because it was a work of genius that we'd otherwise have missed.

The Saigon hotel room scene is one of the most realistic war movie scenes in cinematic history.

Perfect casting. A vulnerable, lost man trying to find himself. In the end he finds his fractured self staring back at him, he kills this entity within himself to become his strongest form.
