Mel Gibson
The winner of many awards for acting roles got his starry chance after …. a fight at the bar! Gibson’s friend accidentally “attributed” Gibson to audition, where they had to choose a tough guy for some then-unknown film. When Gibson and his friend drove up to the set, the director immediately noticed him. Mel, who was beaten and had not yet recovered after a night of drinking, was considered the ideal actor for his role in the movie «Mad Max,» which later became his hallmark.
