All 7 Actors Who’ve Played Mad Max

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Mad Max franchise has primarily focused on the titular character of Max Rockatansky, but he hasn't always been played by the same actor. Mad Max has been a hugely important and influential franchise in the dystopian genre. It's gone on to influence several major stories that came after it, from films like Terminator to video games and shows like Fallout.

6 Mel Gibson Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Close Mel Gibson was the first actor to portray Max Rockatansky, and he also did so in the most movies. Gibson has been a hallmark of the franchise since the beginning, as he starred in 1979's Mad Max, 1981's Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and 1985's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Perhaps the best illustration of his dedication to the art of stunt performing comes from Mad Dog Morgan, as that movie saw Page jump from a 25-meter tall cliff, backwards, while on fire. Since Mad Max 2, Norris has continued to have a very successful career performing and directing stunts. He performed stunts for movies like Superman Returns, and he acted as the stunt coordinator for several films, including The Suicide Squad and Moulin Rouge!. Like Grant Page, Norris has also maintained an effect on the Mad Max franchise long after actually playing Max, as he worked as a supervising stunt coordinator for Mad Max: Fury Road and as the action designer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Another difference between Hardy and Gibson is what the Mad Max franchise did for their careers. While it was certainly an impressive movie, Fury Road was not Hardy's first big role. Hardy has been in major shows like Peaky Blinders and movies like The Dark Knight Rises since 2010's Inception. Still, Fury Road likely had some positive effects for his career, as Hardy has gone on to star in several blockbusters since, such as Dunkirk and the Venom franchise.
