The Role: 1st Lieutenant Dobbs

Why It’s The Best: It’s a relatively small part, but is worth flagging up on the grounds that Sheen’s bright-eyed decency more than holds its own amid a host of grandstanding performers. When you make your presence felt alongside Alan Arkin, Anthony Perkins, Charles Grodin, Jon Voight and Orson Welles, you know you’re doing something right.

Iconic Moment: Arkin and Sheen enjoy a fine rapport throughout the film, as evidenced by the following exchange: “If he raises the number of missions again, I swear to God, I'll help you kill him,” begins Arkin. “Really?” replies Sheen. “I swear,” is the response. “Well, that’s very reasonable of you,” concludes Sheen.

Sheen Says: “Going to Mexico was memorable. We just left a blizzard in New York City then we were in San Bernado desert, and the boys would bring home kids from the fishing village. I remember one night Ramone disappeared during this huge carnival. Here we are in a foreign country and I’ve lost one of my kids!”
