Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on March 14, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Etan Cohen! May your day be filled with more laughs than Tom Cruise's unforgettable dance moves in "Tropic Thunder"—a milestone you brilliantly crafted. Watching characters navigate Hollywood absurdity never gets old, thanks to your genius comedic pen.

Here's hoping the year ahead brings creative inspiration bigger and bolder than Robert Downey Jr.'s legendary role within a role (within probably another role). Keep dazzling us like only you can—with razor-sharp wit and hilarious adventures that remain timeless treasures. On behalf of fans everywhere: Thanks for making comedy truly 'explosive' again! You're clearly still "the dude playing the Dude disguised as another birthday-celebrating dude."
