The Life of Hollywood Actor Martin Sheen

In 1977, he begins filming Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola’s ambitious war film set during the Vietnam War. The production takes place largely in the Philippines and quickly becomes known for its enormous scale and difficult shooting conditions.

He plays Captain Benjamin Willard, the soldier sent deep into the jungle on a dangerous mission. The project demands intense physical and emotional commitment, and the chaotic production soon becomes one of the most challenging experiences of his career.
