Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on May 15, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Cleavant Derricks! Whether sliding through parallel universes to save your friends or tackling cosmic anomalies as Rembrandt Brown in *Sliders*, you've always been the coolest "Crying Man" we've ever known. Managing interdimensional disasters with humor and soulful tunes? Now that's real star power.

Wishing you another year filled with exciting new adventures—though perhaps fewer precarious wormholes this time. Thanks for sharing your charm, talent, and iconic performances that make us smile every time we revisit them (those '90s sci-fi marathons will never get old). Here's hoping today is as epic and entertaining as all those worlds combined!
