In Reply to: Major, fatal flaw of "Apocalypse Now:" posted by tinear on May 24, 2005 at 17:00:11:
apparently there were "creative" differences and Sheen came aboard. Sheen also had his first heart attack and almost derailed the entire project. After seeing it so many times, I really see Sheen in the role as an unassuming, unlikley officer squeezed into a situation he wasn't sure about. Keitel was just too hard for the role--he would have no doubt about why or what he was going to do. My preference is Sheen all the way.
Follow Ups:
Clint Eastwood was offered the role but turned it down, saying to Coppola, "You don't have an ending".

Charlie Sheen is just the right fish out of water, the grunt in the wrong place and at the wrong time, which is just what makes "Apocalypse" work
Runty; good, it makes Sheen more of a fresh faced everyman than Keitels stone faced "Bad Lieutenant"
The other role I really admire Sheen in is "Badlands" with Sissy SpacekGrins
s
Harvey Keitel - absolutely can't stand the guy. I realize you don't care.
deeply.
It's MARTIN Sheen, not his son Charlie.
