Al Franken: My Plan for Rehabilitating Mel Gibson
This post originally appeared on The Huffington Post.
So, I don’t think Mel Gibson should be totally drummed out of the business. I think he should just have to start all over again. Put him in a movie as an “under-five” (an actor who has fewer than five lines). Make him play BUSBOY #2 in a Matthew McConaughey comedy.
Watching the dailies, a producer might say, “Hey, that busboy who said, ‘You dropped your napkin, sir’ – he’s pretty good.”
Then the director will say, “Of course, he’s good. That’s Mel Gibson.”
And then the producer will say, “Oh, yeah, that’s right. In my next movie, let’s give him a slightly bigger role.”
Then in about five or six years he could be rehabilitated and have his own sit-com.

that plan would be perfect except that all movie producers are jews. but other than that…brilliant. i suggest we cast him as jesus in a remake of his own movie. make him truly appreciate his work.

So Al is suggesting that Mel Gibson still keep more movie clout than he has? At least he recognizes the disparity of talent and box-office clout.

I think it could work, except i’m not sure if he still has a muscular chest, what is he now, 60?
