TODAY IS: The actor Martin Sheen's birthday -- he was born in Dayton, Ohio, on this day in 1940. Sheen's definitive role (at least prior to his much-beloved President Bartlett on TV's WEST WING) may be as a conflicted army assassin in 1979's APOCALYPSE NOW. Coincidentally, Francis Ford Coppola's controversial film gets a rerelease today, in an expanded version. [today's movie at IMDb]
