Mel Gibson - biography; photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson (born January 3, 1956) is an American-born Australian-reared actor, director and producer best known for acting in the Mad Max movie series, the Lethal Weapon series, acting in and directing the Academy Award winning Braveheart and directing the 2004 blockbuster The Passion of the Christ. In February of 1985, he became the first person to garner the title of "Sexiest Man Alive" from People magazine. Gibson was born in Peekskill, New York, the sixth of ten children born to Hutton Gibson (the son of a US businessman John Hutton Gibson and an Irish-Australian opera singer Eva Mylott) and Anne Reilly Gibson (who was born in the USA to Irish immigrants). The family also adopted a child, bringing the total number of children in the family to eleven. One of Mel's younger brothers, Donal, is also an actor. Although Gibson always maintained his United States citizenship, he lived in Australia from the age of twelve. Following a victory on the TV game show Jeopardy!, Gibson's father moved his family to Australia in 1968 in protest of the Vietnam War for which his elder sons were potentially at risk for being drafted, and also because he believed that changes in American society were immoral. Some people have criticised Mel Gibson and his father for their traditional Catholic beliefs and political views, which have drawn accusations of Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. Extremely devoted to his faith, as evidenced by his production of The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson has donated money to finance the construction of a Traditionalist Catholic church in Malibu, California, a sect which rejects the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. [br]After graduating from the National Institute of Dramatic Art in 1977, Gibson's acting career began in Australia with appearances in the television series including The Sullivans, Cop Shop and Punishment. He made his Australian movie debut as the leather-clad post-apocalyptic survivor in George Miller's Mad Max, which later became a cult hit and launched two of its own sequels. His international profile increased through Peter Weir's anti-war First World War film Gallipoli. Gibson's boyish good looks made him a natural for leading man roles. In 1984, he made his US movie debut, starring as Fletcher Christian in The Bounty. Actor Anthony Hopkins played Captain Bligh opposite Gibson. In December 2005, it was announced that Gibson will produce a television movie about Dutch Holocaust survivor Flory Van Beek, although it had been rumoured previously that he would make a movie about the Maccabees. Gibson's next film, Apocalypto, will be a mythic action-adventure set in the days of the Mayan civilization. [br]
