Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on January 12, 1961)

Happy Birthday to the incomparable Simon Russell Beale! From Shakespearean kings to captivating stage performances, your talent has dazzled audiences and critics alike. Whether commanding attention as King Lear or charming us in "The Lehman Trilogy," you've proven that true artistry never goes out of style.

May this birthday bring you more standing ovations than curtain calls, and fewer forgotten lines (though we doubt that's ever happened!). Here's hoping your next act is filled with laughter, applause, and perhaps a cake worthy of theatrical acclaim—just don't let Hamlet near it; he's known for dramatic endings!

Cheers to another brilliant year ahead!
