Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on February 12, 1969)

Happy Birthday, J. Robert Spencer! It's time to celebrate you—the talent who brought Dan Goodman alive so captivatingly in "Next to Normal," earning a richly deserved Tony nod back in 2009. After portraying the ultimate bewildered dad and husband on Broadway, blowing minds with your heart-wrenching solos (seriously, we still hum along while sobbing), you've officially secured your spot among theater royalty.

Whether you're hitting high notes or managing melodious meltdowns like nobody's business, no one nails complex family drama better than you do—reason enough today for cake-induced normalcy. Here's hoping this birthday is 'next' level fantastic—and significantly more cheerful than any of Dan Goodman's therapy sessions!
