Mel Gibson was seen today in New York City shooting scenes for the new movie "The Beaver." The film, directed by Jodie Foster, is about a CEO of a toy company, played by Mel Gibson, who becomes depressed. He finds an old beaver puppet and begins to wear the puppet constantly to help him communicate.  
  
It looks like in this scene Mel gets to show off his talents. He is jogging, talking to as well as answering for a beaver.  
  
This is a return to acting for Mel Gibson. He hasn't appeared in a starring role since "Signs" in 2002.
