Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on August 11, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Chris Messina! From your razor-sharp wit in "The Newsroom" to your unforgettable charm on screen, you've proven that journalism can indeed be both intense and hilarious. Your portrayal of Reese Lansing made us laugh, cringe, and cheer—sometimes all at once. Clearly, nobody delivers newsroom drama quite like you!

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as much excitement as the breaking news stories you've tackled onscreen. May this year bring even more memorable roles and successes—because let's face it: the world needs more of your perfectly timed sarcasm and impeccable acting chops. Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
