Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on November 14, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Brian Dietzen! Here's to the best assistant medical examiner NCIS ever had—our beloved Jimmy Palmer. You've given us countless unforgettable moments—from awkwardly hilarious autopsy-room conversations to heartwarming camaraderie with Gibbs and Ducky. Every quirky line or genuine moment you've delivered made crime-solving a whole lot more enjoyable (and admittedly humorous).

Congratulations on continuing to charm viewers season after season; your character's evolution from nervous newbie into confident coaxer of smiles is legendary. May you celebrate today surrounded by friends who don't mind hearing forensic puns over cake—in moderation! Keep smiling—you make investigating fictional deaths much easier for all involved. Cheers, dear "Autopsy Gremlin"!
