Answer: baseball

Charlie Sheen is a huge baseball fan. He was a star on Santa Monica High School's baseball team, the Vikings, as a pitcher and shortstop, before he was expelled from school in his senior year, for a combination of low grades and low attendance, as he often skipped school to play baseball. His love for baseball carried on to his adult life - he starred in a few baseball movies, including "Eight Men Out"(1988), "Major League"(1989) and "Major League II"(1994). He is also an avid baseball card collector. In 1998, $170,000 worth of rare baseball cards belonging to Charlie Sheen were stolen from a display case at the Official All-Star Cafe in New York City.

Charlie also showed interest in acting while in high school. He made several amateur films with classmates Rob and Chad Lowe, and Sean and Chris Penn. Though he had dreams of playing professional baseball, acting is what he ultimately chose, of course.

Answer: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Charlie Sheen played Garth Volbeck, or 'Boy in Police Station', in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"(1986). Jennifer Grey played Jeanie Bueller, Ferris' sister who always felt overshadowed by her brother.

While waiting for her mother to come collect her, she spoke with Garth, who had been arrested for drugs, about her situation with Ferris.

Charlie Sheen stayed awake for 48 hours straight to properly look the part of a very stoned Garth.
