Gibson likely to star in ‘Mad Men’

LONDON - Veteran actor Mel Gibson is reportedly in talks to star in the hit television show “Mad Men”.

According to insiders, the 54-year-old is a big fan of the AMC cable show and has been in talks with its creator Matthew Weiner about guest-starring in the next series.

A source says it will not just be a walk-on cameo part for Gibson as Weiner sees much “dramatic potential” in giving him a season-long role.

Set in the hard-drinking world of New York’s ad industry in the 1960s, “Mad Men” is a hit with both viewers and critics and has scooped the best drama Emmy three years in a row.
