Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on November 18, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Eric Pierpoint! From solving intergalactic crimes as Detective George Francisco in "Alien Nation," to boldly going where few actors have gone before—playing multiple characters across the Star Trek universe—you've truly mastered the art of sci-fi versatility. Whether navigating alien-human relations or exploring strange new worlds, your performances always beam us up with delight.

Here's wishing you another year filled with cosmic adventures and fewer prosthetic makeup sessions (though we admit you're great at them!). May your birthday be timelessly entertaining—just like those classic reruns—and may all future roles continue to live long and prosper!
