A decade after fall from grace, Mel Gibson rises with 'Hacksaw Ridge'

Director Mel Gibson attends the red carpet for the movie "Hacksaw Ridge" at the 73rd Venice Film Festival in VeniceBy Piya Sinha-Roy LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - It has been ten years since Mel Gibson went on a drunken anti-Semitic rant that made him a Hollywood outcast, but the actor and director is finally climbing back into the industry's good graces. Gibson has kept a low profile with just a handful of small acting roles since his 2006 arrest in Malibu for drunk driving, after which he apologised for launching a diatribe against Jews and sought treatment for alcoholism.
