It’s hard to believe that, with an acting career that spans five decades and multiple genres, there are some movies Martin Sheen has struggled to get made. 2011’s The Way, a family collaboration with his son Emilio Estevez and grandson Taylor Estevez, was only completed after Sheen mortgaged his home to provide the bulk of the financing. The West Wing actor has also been holding out hope for one project in particular, which is, unfortunately, not a sequel to the Aaron Sorkin series that introduced him to a whole new generation of fans. (Nor should anyone hope that the erstwhile President Bartlet is finally going to run for office.) Sheen’s latest role in a small-screen adaptation of Anne Of Green Gables was far easier to come by, but is no less charming. The A.V. Club spoke to Sheen at the Television Critics Association summer press tour about passion projects, families, popes, and The West Wing, though we stopped short of asking him to teach us that famous jacket flip.
