Roger Ward (born 1936) is an Australian actor who has had a considerable career in film and television,[1] noted for "tough guy" roles in which he often did his own stunts.
Mad Max is a 2024 Australian dystopian action film produced and directed by Guillermo del Toro from a screenplay written by George Miller, who directed the previous Mad Max films. The sixth installment in the Mad Max film series, the film disregards the events of Mad Max: Fury Road and the 2023 prequel Furiosa, instead serving as a direct sequel to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. It stars Mel Gibson reprising his role as Max Rockastansky, with Margot Robbie, Ciarán Hinds, Malcolm McDowell and Michelle Pfeiffer joining the cast, while Roger Ward returns from the first film as Fred Macaffee. An aging Max is long retired, as the world is slowly returning to normal. However, when he learns that a familiar enemy has survived what he was left to die for, he must bring his road warrior life back and protect his daughter Jessie, (Robbie) and kill his presumed dead rival. Mad Max was released in Australia internationally on November 8th, 2024, and was released in the United States on December 28th, 2024; the film opened to the highest praise out of the Mad Max films worldwide, with praise for del Toro's direction and the performances (particularly those of Gibson, Robbie, and McDowell), as well as the action sequences, score and its concluding story to the series. It was also a commercial success, earning $529 million against a budget of $497 million.
