MEL GIBSON

Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors from Hollywood. He is smart, intelligent and a very handsome actor (in my opinion). He is very good in what he’s doing. He is a special and talented actor, situated in the firsts 50 actors from Hollywood. He is a director and a script-writer too.
He was born on 3 January 1956 in Peekskill, New York, USA, in a Catolic Irish family. He is 50 years old (but he doesn’t look like). His real name is Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson.

After 1980 drama becomes his favorite type of film. In 1981 he acted in another film “Gallipoli” which was a drama too.
In 1985 he acted with the singer Tina Turner in “Mad Max beyond Thunderdome”. After this film he takes a pause for 2 years. After 1987 he returns to action movies: “Lethal weapon” and “Lethal weapon II”.
