✎ He moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia, when he was 12 years old. He studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. His roles in the Mad Max series of films and the Lethal Weapon series of films earned him the label of "action hero". Later, Gibson expanded into a variety of acting projects including human dramas such as Hamlet. He produced, directed, and starred in the epic historical drama film Braveheart. He was cast as one of the leads in the critically acclaimed World War I drama Gallipoli. He later directed and produced the financially successful, and controversial, biblical drama film The Passion of the Christ. He received further critical notice for his directorial work on the action-adventure film Apocalypto. After a 10-year hiatus from directing, he returned with the critically praised Hacksaw Ridge, which won two Academy Awards. As a director, he sometimes breaks the tension on set by having his actors perform serious scenes wearing a red clown nose.

Thank You Evan. And while Hacksaw Ridge and Braveheart are certainly great let's not forget about some of the forgotten pictures Mel acted in the eighties like Bird on a Wire, Lethal Weapon which he and Danny just had a fantastic chemistry on set and locations together I thought, and What Women Want, and many more memorable pictures in motion picture history that Mel Gibson was a part of.
