Charlie Sheen, Major League
Charlie Sheen played fictional Cleveland Indians pitcher Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn in the 1989 movie “Major League.”
The real Cleveland Indians are in the World Series, so what better time for a “Major League” sequel? Charlie Sheen’s campaign to throw out a first pitch as Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn was rejected, but he revealed Wednesday that he’s in talks to reprise the character for another “Major League” movie with original cast members Tom Berenger, Corbin Bernsen and Wesley Snipes. “Major League 3,” which ignores the second sequel (“Major League: Back to the Minors”), was written by the first film’s writer and director David Ward and follows Vaughn’s struggles to connect with his fast-pitching rebel son.

She’ll play her original character Raven Baxter as a now grown-up single mother of two children, one of whom will learn that she has psychic visions.
