WI: Mel Gibson in Schindler's List

I've read that Mel Gibson was originally considered for the lead in Schindler's List. What if he had been cast, would it have led to an earlier anti-semitic outburst?
 
He could have the part of the camp commander that shot a woman that was squatting. If he said something anti jews i am sure the world would think it was a PR move for the movie at worst. I have a feeling though that Spielberg asked every actor and actress about their feelings towards jews before they got contracted to the movie

You're probably right Matt, I can definately picture Speilberg asking folks about what they think of Jews whilst casting.
 
Thinking of Gibsons one dimensional acting the movie would suck and would be one of the few bad spielberg movies.
