Real Name: Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson ; Birthday: January 3, 1956 ; Place of Birth: Peekskill, NY ; Education: National Institute of Dramatic Art, Sydney, Australia

Though introduced to US audiences as an Australian actor, the strikingly handsome, blue-eyed Gibson was actually born in New York state and emigrated to Australia in 1968. He made a name for himself in the leather-clad title role of George Miller's Mad Max, as the post-apocalyptic action hero, and in Tim (both 1979), playing a retarded handyman in love with Piper Laurie.

Mel went on to make such great films as: Ransom, Conspiracy Theory,Lethal Weapon 1-4, Payback, The Patriot, What woman want, Braveheart and many many more.

I've always loved his work, as I am sure most people do.

I am writing this blog about Mel's upcoming film "Passion" The story of Christ. The release date in the U.S is February 25th, 2004.
