Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on December 27, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Jay Ellis! From charming us all as Bryce Westbrook on "The Game," to appearing in the hilarious and outrageously funny "Movie 43," you've proven over and again there's nothing you can't brilliantly pull off—whether it's drama, comedy or simply making ladies swoon with just a glance.

We're wishing you another fantastic trip around the sun full of laughter, love—and hopefully less cringe-worthy movie moments (though seriously, your scene-stealing humor made even THAT unforgettable). Keep turning heads both on screen and off. Enjoy celebrating while reminding everyone else they're playing catch up to your level of coolness!
