Charlie Sheen to play U.S. president in "Machete" sequel

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Charlie Sheen is following in his father's footsteps.
Sheen, whose father, Martin Sheen, famously played U.S. president Jed Bartlet on "The West Wing," will play the nation's chief executive in Robert Rodriguez's upcoming sequel to 2010's "Machete."
Filmmaker Rodriguez announced the casting on his Twitter account Thursday, writing, "I just cast Charlie Sheen in #machetekills as the President of the United States! Who better? More soon..."
As photographic evidence that the tweet was not some kind of cruel hoax, he included a photo of himself and Sheen together.
Sheen retweeted the message, adding, "My Fellow Americans!"
According to IMDB, the cast also includes Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez from the first film, with Mel Gibson and Amber Heard coming aboard for round two.
The film is currently scheduled for a 2013 release.
Now the only question is, will President Sheen pack the cabinet with his goddesses?

I am now at the point that I can't stand Charlie Sheen, although I admire his dad a lot. I think I'll pass on this Machete sequel based on that. I find it difficult, these days, to watch Charlie in Platoon, a film I love! It's hard to conceive the path he has taken between then and now.....

I like Charlie but I think the "I tried it but didn't inhale" has already been done.

He plays himself really well. I'll watch.
