Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on July 18, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Grant Bowler! From chasing criminals in "Blue Heelers" to navigating supernatural drama on "True Blood," you've proven there's no role too wild or weird for your talent. Whether stranded mysteriously on an island in "Lost" or charming us all as Connor Owens in "Ugly Betty," you always deliver performances that stick with us—sometimes even longer than our Netflix binges.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer vampires and more cake (though we can't promise it'll be less dramatic). Keep dazzling audiences everywhere; after all these years, you're still the best thing that's ever happened to TV remotes!
