Actor and filmmaker Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson studied acting in Australia, where he moved with his family at the age of 12. After returning to Hollywood, he quickly established himself as an action star, bagging the role of Max Rockatansky in the first three movies of the ‘Mad Max‘ film series. Mel founded his production company, Icon Entertainment, in the 1980s and showed off his talent behind the camera, making the historical genre his niche. In 1995, Mel helmed the 1995 film ‘Braveheart,’ where he stars as Scottish warrior William Wallace in the First War of Scottish Independence. The film was critically acclaimed, earning Mel both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe for his creation. Controversy erupted with his 2004 directorial ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ even though the film became a commercial success. As an actor, Mel stars in films such as ‘Ransom,’ ‘Payback,’ ‘What Women Want,’ ‘The Patriot, ‘Signs,’ and ‘Edge of Darkness.’ If you are looking for films associated with Mel Gibson on Netflix, the following list is perfect for you.
