Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on June 14, 1949)

Happy Birthday to Antony Sher— the man who brought Shakespeare’s most dramatic villains brilliantly to life! Whether scheming ruthlessly as Richard III or striding powerfully as Macbeth, you've consistently made audiences love even your darkest roles. We're convinced Shakespeare himself would give you a standing ovation (or at least pen another juicy villain just for you).

Congratulations on all your celebrated performances, particularly your Olivier Award-winning portrayal of Richard III. Here’s hoping this birthday is drama-free—or at least less tragic than your stage finales. May it be filled with laughs, applause, and maybe slightly fewer bodies than Titus Andronicus!
