Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on May 24, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Eric Close! From the rugged showdowns in "The Magnificent Seven" through your unforgettable adventures in "Now and Again," you've mastered on-screen heroics so effortlessly, we suspect you secretly spend weekends rescuing kittens from trees while styling your flawless hair.

Your compelling performances on "Without a Trace" certainly haven't left our minds without a trace—quite the opposite! Thank you for captivating us with characters whose bravery (and impeccable suits!) remind us daily that action heroes can indeed sport sophistication. Wishing you endless laughs, another successful year ahead—and may no Casting Director ever lose track of such talent again!
