Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on September 28, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the unforgettable JT Walsh! Whether you're grilling Tom Cruise in "A Few Good Men" or delivering memorable lines alongside Billy Bob Thornton in "Sling Blade," your performances always leave us quoting and smiling. Your talent for playing complex characters with just a hint of mischief has made movie nights endlessly entertaining.

Even though you often portrayed serious roles, today we celebrate by imagining how you'd handle birthday cake—probably interrogating it sternly before slicing into perfection. Thanks for giving cinema some truly iconic moments; here's hoping wherever you are, they're serving up plenty of biscuits (with mustard!) on this special day!
