In 2001, he is slated to star opposite Rosanna Arquette and Angie Harmon in the comedy Good Advice. Notorious for his recurrent battles with drugs and alcohol, Sheen was again the subject of negative publicity when he served as the star witness in the 1995 trial of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. He confessed to spending an excess of $50,000 to purchase sexual services from 27 different prostitutes. The following year, Sheen was arrested and charged with the assault of former girlfriend Brittany Ashland. Pleading no contest to the battery, he received a suspended sentence and two years of probation. In addition to his acting accomplishments, Sheen has published a book of poetry titled Peace of Mind (1991). .
