Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on October 12, 1953)

Happy Birthday to the phenomenal David Threlfall! From your unforgettable portrayal of Frank Gallagher on "Shameless," where you've brilliantly taught the world that dysfunction has never been funnier, we're endlessly grateful. Only you could make stumbling through chaos look this entertaining—truly iconic!

Your incredible talent doesn’t stop there—your recent compelling roles remind us why you're one of Britain's finest actors. As you celebrate today, remember: nobody navigates life's hilarious messiness quite like you do onscreen (or off-screen). Here's hoping your special day is filled with laughter and mischief worthy of Frank himself—but maybe without all his hangover-induced regrets tomorrow!
