Martin Sheen has starred in at least two of the greatest films ever made, survived a massive heart attack, found God, and campaigned tirelessly for social justice in the Third World. Now, he’s gone back to school, studying Philosophy and English at (of all places) the NUI in Galway. Jason O’Toole meets him for his only Irish print interview.

Martin Sheen has starred in some cinematic masterpieces like Apocalypse Now and Badlands. He is one of America’s most prolific actors but, unfortunately, there is a downside to this: Martin admits to making more than his fair share of turkeys.
