Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on June 23, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Daniel Brooks! From directing groundbreaking productions at Necessary Angel to captivating audiences on stage and screen—your talent is as timeless as your impeccable sense of drama. Who else could juggle roles like visionary director, insightful playwright, and compelling actor without missing a beat? Clearly only someone who starred in "House" yet still knows how to bring down the house.

Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations, sold-out shows across Toronto stages—and perhaps fewer dramatic pauses offstage. May your creativity continue shining brighter than ever; after all these years you're not just necessary—you're legendary!
