The making of The Passion of the Christ starts at 9 Eastern, 8 Central on PAX TV.  I already have satelite set to jump to that channel (255 on direct TV)  I guess we will get to see Mel talk about why and how.


Now, without googling or anything like that, who can tell me where he was born?  You won't get anything except an attaboy...

New York, IIRC. Somewhere in the States.

Peekskill or Fishkill, NY, somewhere down there

(PETA attempted to get Fishkill to change it's name, not realizing that "kill" is Dutch for stream or some such).

It was upstate NY.  He moved down under when he was 12.  I brain cramped on the exact town (it wasn't one of the kills)  Will find out shortly.  I just learned this yesterday and freaked out about it.  No wonder he barely has an accent (compared to the rest of the aussies)

Well, his bio on [url]www.thepassionofthechrist.com[/url] only says upstate NY.  Too bad.  I guess I will have to find it elsewhere...

I'm upstate, all the dutch sounding stuff is downstate, unless you're a dope from NYC that thinks everything is upstate, and that's who probably wrote the bio. He's from downstate I remember them blathering about it when I lived in Albany and it was somewhere south of that (downstate)

I'm from Long Island, and unless you're from Jersey, everything IS upstate. [:)]

I read an article a long time ago, Mel Gibson's old man took him to Australia so he would not be drafted......
