...incorrect brute, a role that Gibson has played onscreen and off throughout his career. A few years back, he got trounced by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation after a particularly nasty comment to a reporter about homosexual sex.

Finally, there was Ken Starr, the rosy...
...name he was born with was Manoj Shyamalan. His parents, physicians living in the U.S., went to Pondicherry, India, to have him, then moved to the Philadelphia area when he was a few months old. Although the family is Hindu, young Manoj was sent to a Roman Catholic school "for the discipline."
