Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on June 30, 1990)

Happy Birthday, Chris Carter! May your day be filled with fewer conspiracies and more cake—though we suspect the truth is still out there (probably hidden behind candles). Your brilliant creation of "The X-Files" has kept us questioning reality for decades. Mulder's relentless alien hunts and Scully’s skeptical eyebrow raise remain iconic; thanks to you, flashlights in dark forests will forever feel suspicious.

Here's hoping this year brings even greater mysteries solved—or unsolved—and continued success as fans old and new binge-watch late into the night. Remember: trust no one... except maybe whoever baked your birthday cake today!
