Joseph "Joe" Estevez (born February 13, 1946) is an American actor, director and producer.[1] He is the younger brother of actor Martin Sheen and the uncle of Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Renée Estevez and Ramon Estevez.

Life and career

Early life

Estevez was born in Dayton, Ohio to a Catholic, Galician-born father, Francisco Estévez (1898-1974), and an Irish mother, Mary Anne (née Phelan) (1903-1951). He is one of ten children—nine boys and one girl.

As a child, he lived in the South Park neighborhood of Dayton. During a family trip in April 1959, he participated in the White House Easter Egg Roll and met President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He attended Chaminade-Julienne High School, a Catholic High School located in Dayton. Upon his graduation, he enlisted and served in the United States Navy.

Career

After serving in the United States Navy, Estevez began pursuing an acting career starting in the early 1970s. He initially used his mother's maiden name, Phelan, before using his surname, Estevez. Throughout his career, Estevez has appeared in numerous film and television roles in lead, supporting, and minor parts playing protagonists and antagonists, and he frequently appears in moderate and low-budget independent features and B-movies. In addition, he has worked as a voice-over artist and performs in stage productions. He has expressed in an interview that he wants to make movies that make a difference.[2]

Estevez stood in for his brother in a number of long shots and in some of the voice-overs for Apocalypse Now (1979), as Martin Sheen was recovering from his heart attack.[3]

He plays a villain, Cyrus, in the film Doonby (2012), which features former The Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider as a mysterious stranger who comes into a small town and falls in love with the spoiled daughter of Estevez's character, the local doctor.[2] He also co-stars with David Faustino in the feature Not Another B Movie (2011) released by Troma Entertainment.

Personal life

Estevez has been married twice and is the father of three daughters. His second wife is actress Constance Anderson.

Joe Estevez is the youngest sibling, to his brother Martin Sheen. Joe Estevez sounds very similar to his older brother, a fact he took advantage of when he did a voice-over for a National Shooting Sports Foundation pro-gunmaker commercial in 2000; at the time, his brother was famous for playing a fictional President of the United States on the television series The West Wing. Sheen starred in a pro-gun control commercial that same year.[4]
