Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 17, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Benno Fürmann! From battling dragons as the heroic Eric/Siegfried in "Ring of the Nibelungs," to capturing hearts as Bodo Riemer in "The Princess and the Warrior," you've proven that bravery and charm can coexist perfectly—especially when paired with your impeccable acting skills.

May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer mythical creatures than you're accustomed to. Here's hoping this year brings you roles just as legendary (but maybe a bit less perilous). Keep dazzling us on screen; after all, nobody wears medieval armor or navigates complicated love stories quite like you do. Prost!
