Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on October 10, 1956)

Happy Birthday to the marvelous Amanda Burton! Your compelling portrayal of Sam Ryan in "Silent Witness" has truly set the standard for crime drama excellence. Who else could face chilling scenes and mysterious clues with such calm professionalism—solving mysteries firmly, yet always elegant and poised?

Over the years, your gripping performances kept us glued to our TVs while thinking twice before walking through deserted parking lots or peering down dark staircases. Thank you for countless adrenaline-fueled moments and bone-chilling thrills. May your birthday be infinitely happier than a typical day at Lyell Centre (and hopefully far less eventful)!
