He was educated in a New York public school initially but later put up in a private academy when his father’s career picked up. In 1968, the family moved to Malibu.

At Malibu, he continued his schooling at Santa Monica High School. It was here he became friends with future actors Rob Lowe, Sean and Chris Penn.

Estevez was interested in scriptwriting even as a boy. While he was eight, he sent a script to the 1970-73 TV series, ‘Night Gallery’ produced by Rod Serling, but unfortunately it was turned down.

When he was 11, his father gifted him a handy camera. He made films using it and enjoyed acting along with his brother Charlie and friends Chris Penn, Rob Lowe and Sean.

During his senior school days, he lost his interest in the drama activities and got drawn towards sports. After graduating from Santa Monica High in 1980, he decided to pursue his career as an actor.

Career

His acting career started in 1979 during his father’s trip to Philippines for the shooting of the film ‘Apocalypse Now’. He played the role of a messenger boy but his role was cut off.

After completing his high school education, he decided to start his career as an actor. He decided to keep his father’s original name in order to maintain his own identity as an actor.

In 1980, he started appearing in small-screen movies. The most notable one includes the ABC Special by name ‘Seventeen Going on Nowhere’.

In 1982, he made his debut in the big screen by starring opposite Matt Dillon in ‘Tex’. The film, an adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s book, gave him a breakthrough in his career.

In 1986, he starred in Stephen King’s horror film, ‘Maximum Overdrive’. By acting in it, he decided to wipe away the moniker attached to him but the film failed to achieve success.

He went behind the light and directed the film ‘Wisdom’ apart from starring in it. Though failed commercially, the film won him the reputation as the youngest star to write and direct a film.

In 1987, he came back with vitalizing energy in ‘Stakeout’, a comic thriller. His comic role as a Seattle detective resulted in the release of its sequel ‘Another Stakeout’ (released six years later).

In 1988, he tasted success with the release of ‘Young Guns’ that became a huge Western box office hit. However, its sequel released two years later was not as popular as its predecessor.

In 1990, he released his first comic film ‘Men at Work’ written, directed and acted by him. Though panned by critics, the film achieved success as a mini-cult classic in the video stores.

In 1992, he enjoyed box office success with the release of ‘Mighty Ducks’ a popular Disney film. He made a cameo appearance in its sequel, ‘D3: The Mighty Ducks’.

He directed the film ‘The War at Home’ and released it in 1996. The film earned positive reviews from critics and won two ALMA award nominations, but was only a moderate success due to poor distribution.

For nearly a decade, he achieved only moderate success with films like ‘Rated X’ and ‘Behind the Green Door’. In 2006 he won the Hollywood Film Award for acting and directing the film ‘Bobby’.

Of late, he is involved in behind-the camera-scenes and enjoys directing television movies like ‘The Way’ (released in 2010). Apart from movies, he is an avid vine grower who promotes his products.
