Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on December 30, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Fred Ward! From plotting daring escapes as John Anglin in "Escape from Alcatraz," to navigating corporate chaos as Roone Dimmick in "Big Business," you've always brought charm and wit to every role. And who could forget your hilarious turn as Rocco Dillon in "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult"? Your comedic timing was so spot-on, we're still laughing decades later.

Whether you're masterminding prison breaks or bumbling through slapstick comedy, you make it all look effortless. Here's wishing you a birthday filled with laughter—just like the countless smiles you've given us over the years. Cheers!
