He made his film debut in Tim Hunter's "Tex" and appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's ensemble drama "The Outsiders," both based on S.E. Hinton novels. His first starring role was in Alex Cox's cult picture, "Repo Man," playing a young punk learning the ropes from a veteran car repossessor played by Harry Dean Stanton.
Estevez' performance as the quintessential high-school jock in John Hughes' "The Breakfast Club" won him widespread attention and acclaim. He went on to appear in "St. Elmo's Fire" before starring in his third adaptation of an S.E. Hinton book, "That Was Then, This Is Now," for which he also wrote the screenplay.
Estevez made his debut as a director with "Wisdom," which he also wrote and starred in.
