Mel Gibson owned a world-class cattle ranch near our home in Montana. His employees really liked him. One night he brought the crew into a bar my sister worked at. He tipped so well that my sister went into her bank the next day and paid off her car loan. If memory serves, this was just after the Mad Max series.
I think he's a pretty sound guy as when they were filming braveheart there was a crew of them came into a bar by the Clyde that we were in,Mel was there along with James Cosmo n a load of others,the pub wasn't that busy as it was a Monday but they bought the whole bar drinks n by all accounts Mel was an absolute gentleman n good company.
@@mrblonde1264 That was his reputation in Stillwater County, MT. The ranch loaned a van for my nephew's swim team to drive all over Eastern Montana. Good man.
@@MIKEKELLEY12000 yeah the guys seems to have been crucified for some of his actions but by all accounts he's a good man,we all make mistakes in life god knows iv made my fair share lol
@@mrblonde1264 If memory serves his name wasn't on the Epstein island logs. There seems to be a trend with Hollywood, if you're not 'in' then you get shit on. I don't think Mel wanted any part of it so they blacklisted him. Just like so many other actors and actresses you read about that have come out against key people.
The historical accuracy argument aimed at this movie is tedious. Just about every second world war movie was grossly inaccurate. The Great Escape featured mostly made up characters and scenarios with maybe two or three actually being based on real people, and there are a plethora of other movies which claim to be based on true events but are simply bullshit. At the end of the day, feature films have absolutely zero obligation to be historically accurate, and Gibson delivered one of the most beautiful and well made epics since the glory days of Spartacus. Every one of those Oscars was earned, and people using flimsy excuses like historical accuracy just come off as salty.
I was one of those extras with F.C.A ( Irish Volunteer Army) as a young 16 year old. We really did rip shreds out of each other but that is what made the battle scenes so realistic. Their was different factions did not like each other which led to alot of real hitting with sticks 😂
@@shaunsteele6926 I did cause my "clan" was wearing white and I made my way to the front while he gave the freedom speech. But I didn't spot my arse though 🤣
Seriously .... how could they have a decent movie about Scottish warriors and NOT have Tommy Flanagan? He's like the stereotypical tough, no-f##king-around, Scottish hard ass. Even in other films, he was great.
I loved the scene when the Irish army meet the Scottish army on the battlefield. Theres a pause and then they all start hugging and greeting each other like dear old “mates”
They could put out a new season of SOA with Tommy Flanagan as the main character and it would be a guaranteed smash hit. Not just because it's SOA but because everyone loves Tommy.
He's all that nice things but is also his intense look and that beautiful beautiful scar, in a movie it automatically creates a story around him, like he's been through tough times. Love him in Brave heart and love him in Gladiator, where he plays friend to the protagonist.
I can't recall a film Tommy was in, that I didn't like the character he portrayed. He's so believable, and can convey so much with his facial expressions & body language. 1 of the best character actors of his generation!
In 1994 I was driving up Glen Nevis to do some climbing. I was stopped on the road by a traffic control and wondered why. I was informed they were making a film and couldn't let me proceed because I would be in the shot. I was surrounded by highland warriors on a break and looked down into the glen and could see a wooden fort on top of a knoll and an entire village by the side of the river. A little further down the glen were two guys on horses lit up by extra lighting and watched as it was filmed. I ended my day in the hills standing at the top of the mountain that features prominently in the village scenes of the movie and often wonder if I'm in Braveheart!
I'm a student of history, it was my favorite subject in school and still is now. While i love when a movies get it right with historical accuracy, i also know how to look past accuracy while enjoying a film. Some people get very upset when movies change history and Gibson is known for ignoring history or rewriting history, so are 99% of film makers who do historical films or films "based on a true story". Braveheart is an awesome movie and one of my personal favorites.
I like to see historical accuracy as well, but with Braveheart, the way it started told us this was going to be more folklore and not historical record "written by those who have hanged heroes", so I wasn't bothered by the liberties taken.
I met Mr. Flanagan while working on a movie. I was a set PA, which is the lowest level job you can have for anyone who doesn't know, and he was so kind to me. I can absolutely understand why Mel and Russel kept him on their shows. He was everyone's friend on set and when he spoke to people I would see him charm them, but not in a deceitful or manipulative way. Just a really charming and enjoyable guy.
Braveheart made grown men cry. Theres something about living in a fallen civilization and watching nationalists fight for their freedom. Absolutely beautiful.
Tommy stayed at the hotel I worked at in Scotland and he was such a nice guy, he would stand around reception chatting to the staff and had time for everyone
That's where he got the name Chibs on SOA, in Glasgow there's a thing called being/getting chibbed where someone slices you across the cheek with a sharp knife like a stanley blade, the worst part is if you touch it then you're cheek basically falls apart!
@@Liam_Grey pretty sure he said it happend on the bus in Easterhouse, a notorious scheme on the outskirts of Glasgow,could be wrong tho. I'm glaswegian,roughly ages with Tommy n the streets back then were wild,everyone had a knife,was the stabbing capital of Europe back then. Iv lost count of the number of times was involved in knife fights back then.I was lucky as my pretty face never got messed up but have got slashes in my hands lol. Glad Tommy got out n made something of himself!!
Tommy Flanagan and Kim Coates are two of the greatest modern bit role character actors that most people don't know by name but they know the roles. Kim Coates always blows my mind. Waterworld man.
First time I took notice of him was as the Bald Assassin that sprayed body spray or Somthing into his mouth to change to voice to match a person who he would imitate using a mask..
Bro this guy plays the most forgettable roles and is totally unforgettable. He just has that thing where you never forget the man. The light shines on him.
Hollywood is America...to a tee. The greed, shallowness, pretty people selling you dreams that probably won't come true. But then it's only a movie..sweet dreams, my friends.
Damn, I guess I never realized Braveheart was Tommy's first movie. His performance made me think I'd seen him in a dozen or so movies dealing with historical realism, or historical fantasy ("Highlander" or "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" comes to mind). His performance in Braveheart was so eponymous I didn't realize he wasn't in other such productions in prior years. He's got "THAT FACE", you know?
'eponymous' means 'giving your name to something'; for example, the hero of a novel that is named after them. 'eponymous' doesn't mean 'a great or epic thing'.
I would literally scroll through movies to watch and see this actor and say to my girlfriend, “this one’s got that guy from Braveheart. Wanna watch?” And we would watch it
It's the FUCKING Scars. Flanagan is a good actor. On those two cases they may have simply looked at his face and said "Oh gee, let's keep that guy and his battle scars."
His scars stop him from being a major leading man but allow him to act all the time as a secondary character.. Unfortuanty being a great actor may not have been enough without the scars that help to tell a story.. You look at him and without a word you think he is not soft... His hardest job would be if they ever hired him to play a very low "T", Weak effeminate guy as he would have a hard time acting against his looks..
Tommy Flanagan is freaking awesome in everything he is ever in. The world needs more Tommy Flanagan. Toss his behind into a major role in a Marvel movie and he will stand out in it.
He forgot to mention Face/Off as another movie he did right after Braveheart. Granted, it's a tiny role and I don't think his character ever speaks, but it was another terrific flick at the beginning of his career.
I don't know if this is anyone else's experience, but for years I would see this guy and never remember where I've seen him. I couldn't connect him to anything I'd seen before, AND BRAVEHEART IS IN MY TOP 10. It wasn't until I started watching SOA in 2010 when it clicked. I was watching Braveheart one Saturday morning and it all came together. I called out to my very disinterested wife....."Hey baby! That's Chibs!" That is the effect of a really great actor.
Always loved MElvis 😆 I was just a kid in the 80's so all his action movie rolls were great to me especially Lethal Weapon and he hadn't even begun to tap into his full potential yet.
Mr. Flanagan was memorable in The Game even though I think his only lines were him laughing. I’ve often wondered if he did the stunt roll out of the taxi.
As much as people bash BRAVEHEART for being historically inaccurate, it needs to be given its due as a film. It brought back and made popular again the epic “cast of thousands” medieval/ancient films of the 50s and 60s. I dare say, if it weren’t for BRAVEHEART, we probably wouldn’t have had films like GLADIATOR, 300, or even the LOTR trilogy.
It's the charismatic personality and the Glasgow smile. He's got "it". No fucking clue what it is. But he's a great actor. I liked him in Smokin Aces too.
Only time I was in a cinema watching a movie that when it finished and William Wallis shouted out freedom!!! Then there was a small manolog about Scots winning their freedom and the film was over......then the whole picture house erupted with screaming and shouting and a standing ovation I've I've niver seen it before and in all my years I have niver seen it since it was just the best thing I ever seen in a movie theater. Mel Gibson is a real movie maker.more of the same sir please.!
Came to see Tommy talk about Mel and I was wondering where I knew Michael from. Low and behold it was sorority boys lol. Movie completely left my memory
😂 I accosted him for an autograph at a Travis concert around the time Gladiator was released. He was so nice about it. Later that year my friend ran into him at a party and they called me on the phone. How cool was that? Awesome guy.
I 'm partially brain-damaged so please forgive my slow-on-the-uptake, but is the interviewer the same guy who played Lex Luthor on the TV show "Smallville"? And Tommy Flanagan rocked his brief roles in "Sin City" and "Smokin Aces".

What a face

He's a great actor and he has a unique look that is very memorable. He makes the audience ask questions.
