Who's That with Ellen?

Answer: Mel Gibson.

Mel's father, Hutton Gibson, moved the family from upstate New York to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 1968.

Mel also attended drama school with Judy Davis. They played together in Romeo and Juliet.

Mel almost didn't get the role of Mad Max. The night before his audition, he got into a fight with three men at a party, resulting in a swollen nose, a broken jaw line, and various other bruises. Mel says that he came to the audition the next day looking like a "black and blue pumpkin." The casting agent told Mel to come back in two weeks, telling him "we need freaks." When Mel did come back, his wounds had healed almost completely, and he got the part.
