Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on May 09, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Joe Carnahan! May your day be as thrilling and action-packed as the unforgettable scenes you've penned. From "The Grey" to "Smokin' Aces," you’ve kept us gripping our seats—sometimes laughing, sometimes gasping—but always thoroughly entertained.

Here's hoping this year brings even more explosive scripts and memorable characters from that brilliant mind of yours. Keep writing those sharp dialogues and intense plots; Hollywood wouldn't dare slow down without them. Cheers to another fantastic chapter filled with creativity, success, and maybe fewer explosions (or not!). Have a spectacular birthday—you've earned it!
