Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on August 24, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Carmine Giovinazzo! CSI: NY's beloved Detective Danny Messer—who even in a city that never sleeps, managed to steal every scene (and our hearts) solving crime after crime with wit and charm. Your portrayal of Danny made us root for justice but also kept us smiling thanks to your laid-back yet razor-sharp persona.

Here's hoping your birthday involves fewer mysteries than your on-screen role and far more cake! Keep bringing us those memorable detective moments; we'll always hold dear the clever quips, intense interrogations, and of course, those signature 'Messer-style' sunglasses scenes. Celebrate big—you've cracked this case wide open!
