Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on October 18, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Joe Morton! From your powerful performances in "Equal Justice" to the unforgettable Papa Pope on "Scandal," you've consistently captivated audiences with intensity and charm. Your ability to deliver lines that resonate deeply—and sometimes hilariously—has made you a standout talent.

May this birthday bring as much excitement as when you won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor; may it be filled with laughter brighter than any courtroom drama or political intrigue you've mastered onscreen. Here's hoping your day is free of scandal—but if not, we trust you'll handle it brilliantly!

Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
