Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on October 30, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Garry McDonald! From your unforgettable antics as Arthur Beare in "Mother and Son," to your spine-chilling performance in "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," you've kept Australia laughing, gasping, and thoroughly entertained. Your induction into the Logie Hall of Fame back in 1997 was proof that even legends can be officially recognised—though we all knew it long before then!

Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer awkward family dinners than poor Arthur endured, and more applause than Norman Gunston ever dreamed possible. Thanks for decades of laughter; may your day be filled with joy—and absolutely no scary basements!
