Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on June 16, 1961)

Happy birthday, David Royle! Not everyone can manage the art of drama and comedy alike, but watching you bring characters to life is pure joy. Whether it was your unforgettable moments in "Dalziel and Pascoe," taking command as Detective Sergeant Edgar Wield with wit and wisdom, or your captivating stage presence—your performances consistently warm our hearts. Truly, you're a masterclass in talent!

Here's wishing you another year of exciting scripts, standing ovations, and perhaps fewer dramatic rehearsals (though we know that's part of the charm). Cheers to more great scenes ahead—and don't let anyone steal your spotlight!
