Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on August 29, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Jay Ryan! From charming Ramsay Street as Jack Scully in 'Neighbours,' to braving stormy seas aboard the fictional Hammersley in 'Sea Patrol,' you've truly navigated your way into our hearts. With performances memorable enough to turn soap suds into drama gold and naval uniforms into fashion statements, you prove talent never goes out of style.

On your special day, May life always treat you like a prime-time hero—with fewer cliffhangers and endless applause. Whether you're tackling dramatic storylines down under or sailing through suspenseful plots overseas, thanks for sharing your gifts with audiences worldwide. Cheers to another fantastic year!
