Emilio Estevez (born May 12, 1962) is an acclaimed American actor and filmmaker. He launched into the film industry with his debut in the drama Tex (1982) and swiftly became associated with the notorious Brat Pack, a group of young actors frequently cast in coming-of-age films of the 1980s.

Estevez's ability to adapt lent him versatility, and he soon appeared in diverse films such as Judgment Night (1993), Loaded Weapon 1 (1993), and Mission: Impossible (1996). The actor furthered his career, starring in three successful film franchises, specifically Stakeout (1987) and its sequel in 1993, Young Guns (1988) and its sequel in 1990, and The Mighty Ducks (1992–1996; 2021).

Estevez constructed a flourishing directorial career, debuting with Wisdom (1986). His direction of Men at Work (1990) marked the progression of his career behind the camera.
