Are you trying to use Charlie Sheen's birth name to imply people don't know who he is!?

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

People know who Charlie sheen is. But people aren't all that familiar with the esteves family. Sheen, basically shiny is a silly name. But it's his brand and what the world knows him as.

I also learned that Martin Sheen is a stage name, I didn't realize he was the Estevez patriarch I figured Emilio had beef.

Also obligatory

Because as far as I know only one "Estevez" is famous. However, I think most people would probably recognize Martin Sheen by name as well, although I suppose that is showing my age some.

However, this is the most pointless argument I have had this far down a comment tree is a long time. Thanks for that.
