'''Mel Gibson''' is an American-Australian actor, film director and producer and screenwriter. The movies he has acted in have grossed more than two billion dollars in the US alone. Born in Peekskill, New York, Gibson moved with his parents to Sydney when he was 12 years old and later studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art.
Gibson broke through with the Australian cult classic ''[[Mad Max]]'' series and graduated to the A-List with ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'' in 1987. He went on to star in a number films, usually appearing in action or comedic roles. In 1995 he directed and starred in the Academy Award-winning ''[[Braveheart]]'', becoming the sixth actor-turned-filmmaker to receive an Academy Award for Best Director. Behind the scenes, Gibson was known as a [[Three Stooges]] fan and a notorious on-set prankster.
