Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on May 14, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Daniel Roemer! From crafting witty dialogues in "The Select Fit" to capturing smoky intrigue with 2003's unforgettable short film "Cigarette," you've always known how to light up the screen—without setting off any fire alarms. Your scripts age better than fine wine and certainly smoother than your characters' questionable life choices.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more cinematic magic (and fewer rewrites). May your creativity flow endlessly like coffee on a late-night shoot, and may critics forever praise your genius—or at least spell your name correctly. Cheers to another reel-worthy trip around the sun!
