Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on February 26, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Maz Jobrani! May your day be filled with more laughs than an Axis of Evil comedy tour and fewer awkward moments than being mistaken for a diplomat in "The Interpreter." You've given us countless hilarious memories—from cracking jokes on stage to stealing scenes in films like "Friday After Next" and the suspenseful thriller "Dragonfly."

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success (and maybe another movie role where you're not interrogated or chased). Keep making us laugh until our sides hurt—because let's face it, nobody does comedic diplomacy quite as brilliantly as you do. Cheers!
