Editing Emilio Estevez (section)

==Career==
His first role was in a drama produced by the [[Paulist Fathers|Catholic Paulist order]]. Soon after, he made his stage debut with his father in ''[[Mister Roberts (play)|Mister Roberts]]'' at [[Burt Reynolds]]' dinner theater in [[Jupiter, Florida]] (this was the only job his father ever placed him in). Later, father and son worked together in the 1982 [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]] film about juveniles in jail, ''[[In the Custody of Strangers]]'', in which Estevez did the casting.<ref name="aimster"/>

===Brat Pack years===
Estevez received much attention during the 1980s for being a member of the [[Brat Pack]] and was credited as the leader of the group of young actors.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Blum |first=David |author-link=David Blum |date=June 10, 1985|title=Hollywood's Brat Pack |journal=[[New York (magazine)|New York]] |pages=40–47}}</ref> Estevez and [[Rob Lowe]] established the Brat Pack when cast as supporting "Greasers" in an early Brat Pack movie, ''[[The Outsiders (film)|The Outsiders]]'' based on the [[The Outsiders (novel)|novel]]. Lowe was cast as [[C. Thomas Howell]]'s older brother Sodapop and Estévez as Two-Bit Mathews. During production, he approached his character as a laid-back guy and thought up Two-Bit's interest in [[Mickey Mouse]], shown by his uniform of Mickey Mouse T-shirts and watching of cartoons.

Besides his roles in ''In the Custody of Strangers'' and ''The Outsiders'', his credits include [[NBC-TV]]'s thrillers ''[[Nightmares (1983 film)|Nightmares]]'' and ''[[Tex (film)|Tex]]'', the 1982 film version of another [[S.E. Hinton]] story. He bought the movie rights to a third Hinton book, ''[[That Was Then, This Is Now]]'', and wrote the screenplay. His father predicted he would have to direct to feel the full extent of his talents, describing him as "an officer, not a soldier."<ref name="aimster"/>

After ''The Outsiders'', Estevez appeared as the punk-rocker turned car-repossessor Otto Maddox in the film ''[[Repo Man (film)|Repo Man]]'' before co-starring in ''[[The Breakfast Club]]'' and ''[[St. Elmo's Fire (film)|St. Elmo's Fire]]''. Following the success of these back-to-back Brat Pack films, he starred in ''[[That Was Then, This Is Now (film)|That Was Then, This Is Now]]'' (which he co-wrote), the horror film ''[[Maximum Overdrive]]'' (for which he was nominated for a [[Golden Raspberry Award]]), and the crime drama ''[[Wisdom (film)|Wisdom]]'' (with fellow Brat Packer [[Demi Moore]]). Estevez was originally cast in ''[[Platoon (film)|Platoon]]'' to be Private Chris Taylor but was forced to drop out after production was delayed for two years; the role eventually went to his younger brother Charlie Sheen.<ref name="dt">{{cite web|url=http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/57093/what-about-emilio/|title=What About Emilio?|last=Kiebus|first=Matt|date=March 1, 2011|publisher=deathandtaxesmag|access-date=March 6, 2011}}</ref> He went on to lead roles in the comedy/action film ''[[Stakeout (1987 film)|Stakeout]]'' and the westerns ''[[Young Guns (film)|Young Guns]]''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.texasarchive.org/library/index.php/2014_00565|title=Interviews with the Cast of Young Guns (1988)|website=Texas Archive of the Moving Image|access-date=October 30, 2019}}</ref> and ''[[Young Guns II]]''.

===1990–present===
In the early 1990s, Estevez directed, wrote, and starred with his brother Charlie in a comedy about [[garbagemen]], ''[[Men at Work (1990 film)|Men at Work]]''. Estevez later stated, "People come up to me on the street and say, ''Men at Work'' is the funniest movie I ever saw in my life. But, you know, I do have to question how many movies these people have seen."<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

In 1992, he found the career longevity that escaped other Brat Packers by starring in ''[[The Mighty Ducks (film)|The Mighty Ducks]]'' as Coach Gordon Bombay,<ref name="dt"/> a lawyer and former [[Minor hockey|pee wee]] star and minor hockey prodigy looking to forget the past, forced into coaching a pee wee hockey team as a form of community service. The film turned out to be one of [[Disney]]'s most successful [[media franchise|franchises]]. It was followed by two sequels.<ref name="dt"/> The following year Estevez starred in three films: the dark thriller ''[[Judgment Night (film)|Judgment Night]]'', the spoof comedy ''[[Loaded Weapon 1]]'' in which his brother [[Charlie Sheen]] has a cameo, and comedy/action film ''[[Another Stakeout]]'', which was the sequel to his earlier film ''Stakeout''.

In an interview a month after the [[82nd Academy Awards|2010 Oscar]] tribute to [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] he explained his absence as publicity shyness: "I've never been a guy that went out there to get publicity on myself.

===Directing career===
Aside from acting, Estevez has also directed television shows and motion pictures. He made his directorial debut with the 1986 film ''Wisdom'', which made Estevez the youngest actor ever to write, direct, and star in a single major motion picture.

The films he has directed include ''Men at Work'' and ''The War at Home''.<ref name="T"/>

He directed the 2006 film ''[[Bobby (2006 film)|Bobby]]'', which took over six years to write. Producing the film nearly bankrupted him as the domestic box office gross was not able to cover [[production costs]].<ref name="dt"/> The movie gained him fans outside the US, mainly in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moviehole.net/201143550-congrats-to-emilio-estevez-the-way-lands-distribution|title=Congrats to Emilio Estevez; The Way lands distribution|date=July 29, 2011|last=Clint|first=Caffeinated|publisher=Moviehole|access-date=August 7, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108013219/http://moviehole.net/201143550-congrats-to-emilio-estevez-the-way-lands-distribution|archive-date=November 8, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> He won a Hollywood Film Award and received a seven-minute standing ovation at the [[Venice Film Festival]].<ref name="BH"/>

===Music videos===
Estevez appeared in John Parr's "[[St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)]]" music video, from the soundtrack of his film with the same name, where he played Kirby Keger. The music video featured all seven of the main cast members of the film, looking sadly through the foggy windows of a run-down and fire-damaged version of the St. Elmo's Bar set.

Estevez is a close friend of [[Jon Bon Jovi]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Jon Bon Jovi|author-link=Lara Jackson|first=Laura |last=Jackson|pages=109|isbn=978-0-8065-2600-3|publisher=Citadel|year=2005}}</ref> He appeared in Bon Jovi's music video "[[Blaze of Glory (Jon Bon Jovi song)|Blaze of Glory]]" as [[Billy the Kid]]. In turn, Bon Jovi made a [[cameo appearance]] in ''Young Guns II''. "Blaze of Glory" was in the ''Young Guns II'' soundtrack and was nominated for an [[Academy Award]]. In 2000, Estevez made an appearance in another Bon Jovi video, "[[Say It Isn't So (Bon Jovi song)|Say It Isn't So]]", along with [[Matt LeBlanc]], [[Claudia Schiffer]], and [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}
