Campaigning actor Martin Sheen has been arrested an astonishing 65 times in the last 20 years.

On Sunday, the veteran actor received a police citation for trespassing on a Nevada nuclear test site.

Sheen has fond memories of his first arrest, when he protested former Us President Ronald Reagan’s nuclear initiative.

He tells British movie magazine Empire, “We placed our bodies at the doors so the employees on the project couldn’t get through and I remember being terribly frightened by what was going to happen.

“I remember (protest organiser) Father Bergin offering the New York Police the chance to come and us in our protest and they said ‘no. You have three minutes to get out of here,’ and I thought ‘Gee, what’s coming down now?’” The actor - who plays the role of a Us President in hit show The West Wing - claims he has never been sentenced to more than a little time in jail and some personal humiliation.

Hollywood legend Martin Sheen was asked not to attend a party at the White House where his West Wing co-stars were invited to meet their real-life counterparts. The 66-year-old actor, who played President Josiah Bartlet on the political drama until it ended in May 2006, got on well with Bush’s predecessor Bill Clinton, but relations between the TV President and the government soured when President George W. Bush came to power.

He reveals, “I adored Mr. Clinton. And he was a fan of ‘The West Wing.’ For a while we were given carte blanch at the White House, which ended when Bush got in - ended for me anyway. When the new administration got into power, all my ‘West Wing’ colleagues were invited there to meet their counterparts. All except me. I was very relieved about that.”
