Let's make this birthday one to remember.

95 years old (Born on May 29, 1930)

Happy Birthday, Ekkehard! Celebrating you today is easier than stopping Arturo Ui's unstoppable rise—after all, you've conquered that role over 500 times. Your performances have been so compelling; even Brecht himself would applaud your tenacity (and perhaps envy your stamina!).

From stage to screen, you've captivated audiences with unmatched charisma and wit. May this birthday bring as much applause and laughter as the countless standing ovations you've earned through the years.

Here's wishing you another year of unforgettable roles—and fewer gangster vegetables plotting world domination! Cheers to a timeless talent who makes every performance legendary.
