No, Mel Gibson has not retired in shame after public problems with a young girlfriend and a 2006 arrest for suspected drunken driving brought the conservative actor many woes. He has emerged intact. Mr. Gibson, 54, will be back in front of the cameras, says friend-of-Mel and fellow actor Jodie Foster. He'll make a cameo appearance as a tattoo artist in "Hangover 2," the upcoming sequel to the Golden Globe-winning blockbuster comedy. Critics already are buzzing that Mr. Gibson's damaged reputation could be healed with a funny role. Filming begins in two weeks.

I think people are realizing that in a world where Roman Polanski walks free—and where nice, sweet, well-liked Matthew Broderick killed a woman and her child in a reckless driving accident he pleaded guilty to, and it NEVER gets talked about—Mel Gibson having a fight with a girlfriend and saying assinine things while drunk doesn’t make him the worst person around.
Mel's just too damn high!
That's right - not the worst, not the best.
says friend-of-Mel and fellow actor Jodie Foster...
Uh huh - and here I thought that Jodie was a girl
Nope. I’ve never particularly cared for him as an actor, he’s always so over the top, and I just don’t care for many of his movies. I’ve enjoyed some of them, not others. But to be blunt, I don’t look to Hollywood for role models, and I assume they’re all at a lower level of moral behavior until I learn otherwise (usually by accident, since I love movies but care far more about writers, composers, directors, cinematographers than I do actors). As far as directing, I enjoyed Man Without a Face and Apocalypto, but neither is an alltime favorite.
And then there’s the vile Polanski. If they can give him an Oscar, I think we can allow Gibson to continue with his career.
Wow! Hadn’t heard about that one. Matthew must have a publicist that dispenses gold bars to the media.
Mel Gibson is an alcoholic. Until he gets back on the wagon, he’s going to continue with his destructive behavior.
The worst thing wrong with Mel Gibson is he drinks to much and then gets mad...and then he talks!!!
The term ‘actress’ was deemed demeaning to acting females.
So they call them ‘actors’, which somehow makes them even in PC eyes.
Love Mel and his movies. Who can not cheer when they watch Mel with the ransom money on the desk and he says its now a BOUNTY! Love him.
Notice how nice they are to point out his political leanings since that is really important to this story.
I still appreciate Mel,
He doesn’t drink anymore but he is bipolar.
Thanks for the info Darkwolf.
Well, maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. I’m not in the room with him all the time.
He said in an interview that he was bipolar. Kinda makes you wonder if he takes meds. I'd bet not.
Why do they have to call him "the conservative actor"? Are liberal actors ever identified as "the liberal actor"? If they had just gotten through listing a bunch of accomplishments and good things about an actor, would they mention his conservatism then?
