Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on June 19, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Alan Van Sprang! From navigating intergalactic drama in "Earth: Final Conflict" to ruling with charm and cunning as King Henry II on "Reign," you've proven that whether it's aliens or royals—you're the man for every epic showdown. Your performances have kept us glued (and occasionally yelling at our screens), making each scene unforgettable.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer alien invasions than usual, less royal intrigue—but just enough excitement to keep things interesting. May this year bring you even more memorable roles and endless laughter; after all, you're not getting older—just dramatically better scripted!
