Mel Gibson

The markedly handsome, blue-eyed Gibson, whom the US audienceshas honored with the throne of an "Australian actor", was born in New York State and immigrated to Australia in 1968. As the post-apocalyptic action hero, he carved his name in the hollywood busy world with the leather-clad title role of George Miller's Mad Max. In his another production, he came out as a retarded handyman in love with Piper Laurie in Tim (both 1979).
In 1987, with the coming of Lethal Weapon, Gibson emerged Martin Riggs, one of the most admired character. This character pictures an explosive homicide cop paired with the long-suffering Danny Glover. The film thrust Gibson to embrace superstardom and generate two sequels. In these sequels he has portrayed an unusually rich description of a modern action hero.

In sharp contrast to it the character of a melancholy Dane in Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet (1990), has open doors for him to explore various opportunities. No doubt the film was problematic but Gibson knows very well how to turn it into a fine portrayal of the "Famed Prince". This was the primary work by ICON Productions. His directorial debut "The Man Without a Face" (1993), is a drama in which he played as a burnt victim.

Working as a director for Braveheart (1995), it proved to be a bigger project for him ever taken. Gibson starred as Sir William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish nobleman, who is clad in a skirt, sporting blue war paint and wielding a big sword was persecuted for his efforts to free Scotland from English rule. Later in Disney's Pocahontas, Gibson becomes a mouthpiece for John Smith.
