Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on December 05, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Brian Backer! From ordering fine dining advice in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" to bravely navigating teenage dilemmas as Mark "Rat" Ratner, you gifted us timeless laughs and relatable awkwardness we still cherish today. Your gentle charm and memorable lines remind us why high school was both cringe-worthy and heartfelt—thanks mostly to your earnest portrayal.

Even years after Ridgemont High's halls closed for you, your iconic role remains celebrated by generations new and old. May this birthday bring more unforgettable moments—less stressful than dating Stacy Hamilton, perhaps—but just as endearing. Keep making every day a fast time worth remembering!
