Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on June 29, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Gary Rydstrom! May your special day be filled with more excitement than a T-Rex roar from Jurassic Park and fewer surprises than the battlefield chaos of Saving Private Ryan. With seven Oscars already on your shelf (and enough nominations to fill an entire soundstage), you've proven that when it comes to cinematic audio wizardry, you're truly unbeatable.

From bringing dinosaurs back to life in Jurassic Park, crafting futuristic chills in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, or capturing history's whispers in Lincoln—your sonic genius has thrilled audiences for decades. Here's hoping this birthday hits all the right notes without needing any post-production edits!
