Gibson attended the National Institute of Dramatic Arts at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. His stage appearances include 'Death of a Salesman.' Gibson was eventually brought to the attention of director George Miller who cast him in 'Mad Max,' the film that first brought him worldwide recognition. This was followed by the title role in 'Tim.' Gibson's portrayal of a handicapped young man won him an Australian Film Institute Best Actor Award. He was further established as an international star by the two hit sequels to 'Mad Max,' 'The Road Warrior' and 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome' along with Peter Weir's 'Gallipoli,' which brought Gibson a second Australian Best Actor Award.
