Happy birthday, Alessandro Nivola! An actor so talented, we're convinced you're secretly hiding extra Oscars in your sock drawer. Whether charming audiences as Pollux Troy or captivating us recently in "The Many Saints of Newark," you manage to breathe life into every character—making questionable mobsters disturbingly lovable and serious drama delightfully addictive.

Here's wishing you another year filled with unforgettable roles and fewer awkward moments explaining how to pronounce 'Nivola' correctly. May your charm never fade, your talent keep flourishing, and may casting agents never tire of your suave sophistication. Celebrate big—you’ve certainly earned it!
