Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on March 22, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Cole Hauser! From saving the world in "Tears of the Sun" to stealing scenes as Rip Wheeler in "Yellowstone," your powerful roles always leave us both impressed and a little intimidated. Whether you're tough-talking rancher-style outlaws or fiercely protecting loved ones on screen, we know not to mess with your gritty charm—and definitely keep our distance when you’re wielding a cowboy hat.

Here's wishing you another fantastic year filled with exciting roles and thrilling adventures—preferably involving plenty of action sequences or horses (or maybe both!). Keep rocking those intense looks that make audiences sit up straight; you've mastered cool without even trying.
