Mel Gibson

Gibson in 2016 Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson (born January 3, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker. The recipient of multiple accolades, he is known for directing historical films as well for his action hero roles, particularly his breakout role as Max Rockatansky in the first three films of the post-apocalyptic series ''Mad Max'' (1979–1985) and as Martin Riggs in the buddy cop series ''Lethal Weapon'' (1987–1998).

Born in Peekskill, New York, Gibson moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia, when he was 12 years old. He studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, where he starred opposite Judy Davis in a production of ''Romeo and Juliet''. During the 1980s, he founded Icon Entertainment, a production company. Director Peter Weir cast him as one of the leads in the World War I drama ''Gallipoli'' (1981), which earned Gibson a Best Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute.

In 1995, Gibson produced, directed, and starred in the war film ''Braveheart'' for which he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, the Academy Award for Best Director, and the Academy Award for Best Picture. He later directed and produced ''The Passion of the Christ'' (2004), a biblical drama that was both financially successful and highly controversial. He received further critical notice for directing the action-adventure film ''Apocalypto'' (2006), set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. His notable acting roles during this period were in ''Ransom'' (1996), ''Payback'' (1999), ''What Women Want'' (2000), ''The Patriot'' (2000), and ''Signs'' (2002).

After several legal issues and controversial statements leaked to the public, Gibson's popularity in Hollywood declined, affecting his career. He subsequently starred in ''Edge of Darkness'' (2010) and Jodie Foster's ''The Beaver'' (2011). His directorial comeback after an absence of 10 years, ''Hacksaw Ridge'' (2016), won two Academy Awards.
