On April 19th, Charlie Sheen had a wild ride in 1986, kicking off as a young jock and Lucas alongside Cory Heim, then popping up as a smooth-talking delinquent chatting of Jennifer Gray and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Nobody knew if that was just the cameo or the real deal yet. He led the rath, a supernatural action flick that went nowhere, but kept the year anchoring Oliver Stone's platoon as the fresh face soldier. Chris Taylor pulling us right into the Vietnam chaos. Moving into 1987, Sheen locked an a-list status as Bud Fox and Stone's Wall Street, playing the ambitious trader who sets up Michael. Douglas's epic Gordon Gecko, but earlier that year, before Wall Street hit Big, he got a shot at something edgier. Fans and critics saw Sheen as the perfect audience stand in Ernest and Platoon, hungry and Wall Street, but they wondered when he'd unleashed that darker. Seductive vibe he teased in Ferris Bueller. Those surrogate roles built his star power, even if earlier gigs like the rath faded

fast. That darker side finally showed up in No Man's Land, where Sheen plays a slick rich kid running a chop shop from a porced dealership, not knowing. He's friended and undercover cop, played by D.V. Swini. The two bond hard as tension builds, echoing some fast and furious vibes, but way more personal and gritty. No Man's Land flew under the radar and bombed quick, but it proved Sheen could own that devilish charm. Too bad it didn't stick the landing like his. Stone Collapse, entertainment and celebrity news.
