Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on August 21, 1939)

Happy Birthday to the coolest undercover cop ever—Clarence Williams III! From your iconic shades and unforgettable afro as Linc Hayes in "The Mod Squad," you made crime-fighting look effortlessly groovy. Who else could chase down bad guys while rocking bell-bottoms and still keep their cool?

Your powerful performances didn't stop there; from intense roles in films like "Purple Rain" to memorable appearances on stage, you've consistently captivated audiences with your charisma and talent. Clarence, here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and maybe a little less running after criminals—but definitely just as much style!
