Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on October 21, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Benjamin! May your day be filled with more twists and turns than an episode of "24," fewer bones to pick than a forensic mystery on "Bones," and enough excitement to rival Vic Mackey's wildest moments in "The Shield." Your storytelling has kept us glued, guessing, laughing—and occasionally yelling at our screens—in the best possible way.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—perhaps another thrilling script that keeps audiences awake until dawn. Keep writing those unforgettable scenes; after all these years crafting suspenseful drama, you've certainly earned some cake-induced cliffhangers today. Cheers!
