Martin Sheen: George Clooney

Sheen Dept: Martin Sheen, according to CTV. The 71-year-old American actor admitted in 2009 that he had been handcuffed 66 times for his political activism. Sheen's first arrest dates back to 1986, when he was taken into custody for civil disobedience while protesting then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" initiative. In recent years, Sheen was arrested in 2007 for trespassing on a Nevada nuclear test facility and george Clooney may be one of the best-looking protesters to end up hand-cuffed and hauled off to jail. But the 50-year-old actor isn't the only star willing to risk a rap sheet to defend a worthy cause. If Hollywood ever handed out an Oscar for "most arrested," the prize would have go to actor Martin Sheen. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
