Happy Birthday, David Birney! From your unforgettable role as Dr. Ben Samuels on "St. Elsewhere," you've given us countless memorable moments filled with wit, charm, and compassion. Your portrayal of the dedicated physician navigating hospital drama and personal challenges remains timelessly entertaining.

Whether it was your quick-witted banter or heartfelt bedside manner, you brought warmth and humor to every scene. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy—and fewer medical emergencies than a typical day at St. Eligius Hospital! Cheers to another year of success and happiness; may it be as enduringly delightful as your best TV moments!
