Martin Sheen described the “extraordinary” talent of fellow actor James Marshall in a trial claiming Roche Holding AG’s Accutane acne drug caused Marshall’s inflammatory bowel disease.
Sheen testified by video from California to jurors weighing claims by Marshall, 44, who played Louden Downey, a U.S. Marine in the 1992 movie “A Few Good Men.” Sheen, a star of the movie “Apocalypse Now” and the NBC drama “The West Wing,” said Marshall showed great promise before emergency surgery in 1995 to have his colon removed.
