Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 11, 1982)

Happy birthday to the forever charming Cory Monteith! Whether you were rocking out as Finn Hudson in "Glee," making us laugh with your adorably awkward solos, or delivering inspiring pep talks that made everyone high-five their TV screens—your performances continue to make fans smile. We still reminisce over those quirky dance moves of yours; frankly, no one else ever mastered synchronized jazz hands quite like you.

Thanks for endlessly entertaining our inner gleeks by reminding us it's perfectly acceptable to burst spontaneously into song at any moment. Here's hoping today is filled with even more cake and laughter than regionals after-party—and remember: don't stop believing!
