Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 28, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Allan Hawco! From navigating intense drama in "ZOS: Zone of Separation" to charming us all as Jake Doyle in "Republic of Doyle," you've proven your versatility and charisma time and again. Your ability to balance action-packed scenes with witty banter has made you a true Canadian treasure—one who deserves an award just for making leather jackets look effortlessly cool.

Congratulations on receiving the prestigious Gascon-Thomas Award from the National Theatre School; clearly, even they couldn't resist your charm. Here's hoping this birthday brings you more adventures—and fewer car chases—than Jake Doyle typically encounters. Cheers to another year of unforgettable performances!
