Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on January 16, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Jake Epstein! From rocking the halls of Degrassi as Craig Manning—you taught us how teenage angst and killer music make a timeless combo. Your iconic scenes left us cheering (and sometimes cringing) through first loves and heartbreaks, proving nobody does charmingly complex drama quite like you.

Wishing our favorite Canadian actor another legendary year ahead, full of laughter and success on-stage or screen—wherever your talent takes you next! May your birthday be free from awkward teen drama but packed with cake, cheers, and perhaps just a touch of nostalgia for those unforgettable Degrassi days.
