Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on January 07, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Jason Hughes! From navigating the drama-filled corridors of "This Life" to solving quirky countryside crimes in "Midsomer Murders," you've kept us entertained and guessing. Who knew rural England could be so perilous—and yet so delightfully watchable? Your portrayal of DS Ben Jones made even murder mysteries feel oddly comforting.

Here's wishing you a birthday filled with fewer suspicious villagers and more cake than clues. May your special day be as timelessly charming as your performances, and may the coming year bring roles that are intriguing—but perhaps slightly less hazardous! Cheers to another fantastic chapter ahead!
