Sheen When Charlie needed his then-13-year-old daughter taken to a hair appointment because he was too drunk to drive, he turned to his sober friend, Tony Todd.

When Sheen wanted to meet Carlos Estévez because the major league pitcher shared Sheen's given name, he turned to his connected friend, Tony Todd.

When Sheen was in the throes of a crack addiction, fired from his starring role on "Two and a Half Men" and in need of an unwavering voice of encouragement, he turned to his nonjudgmental friend Tony Todd.

"There are so many fake friends in Charlie's life," Todd said. "I've been there for him since we were little kids. The cool thing is, we've never had an argument." Thanks to the recent Netflix documentary "aka Charlie Sheen" and publication of "The Book of Sheen" memoir, Todd's 50-year friendship with the mercurial actor has been revealed to the world. Todd's social media accounts have since been flooded with praise from viewers far and wide.

"I had to reach out immediately to say you were and remain an angel from heaven." "You are the friend we would all like to have man, greetings from Spain!" "Dear Tony, If you ever visit Istanbul, it would be our honor to host you in our hotel.... You are not only a great actor but also a true friend." "You... are a stellar human being [heart emoji]." Todd and Sheen have been pals since they bonded through baseball, first on Little League fields in Malibu, then on the Santa Monica High School team, then while taking batting practice in Sheen's posh indoor batting cage, then while putting on power-hitting displays at local high school fields and even Dodger Stadium.
