One-two punch from ‘Mad’ Mel

After “Hacksaw Ridge’s” two-Oscar haul, Mel Gibson continues to repair his image in Tinseltown by taking significant steps in the right direction—this time, as an actor: First, he portrays James Murray, the top lexicographer of the Oxford English Dictionary’s first edition.

Then, the 61-year-old former “Mad Max” star plays Mark Wahlberg’s dad in the comedy sequel, “Daddy’s Home 2.”
