Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on June 01, 1946)

Happy birthday, Brian Cox! You terrified us brilliantly as Hannibal Lecter—masterfully seasoning psychological terror with deluxe sophistication. No one else convinces audiences they're in danger of being served dinner quite like you.

Your recent success playing Logan Roy shows your extraordinary ability to transform from cannibal connoisseur into ruthless media mogul seamlessly. Regardless if you're crafting deviously refined dialogue or blessing scenes with intimidating warmth (and a healthy dose of profanity), you've always set the bar deliciously high.

Here's wishing you another year full of scene-stealing moments and roles cooked to perfection—we raise our (safely distant) glasses in tribute!
