Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on September 12, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Joe Pantoliano! Here's wishing the man whose "matrix" of talent never needs reminding—even if his character in "Memento" certainly did—a memorable birthday filled with joy. From your sharp portrayal as Teddy delivering endless twists in "Memento," to giving us villainous charisma as Cypher by making steak-eating sinisterly cool in "The Matrix," you consistently amaze audiences.

Your masterful performances continue to resonate, and unlike Leonard Shelby, none of us need Polaroids or tattoos to remember how great an actor you've always been. May your year be full of unforgettable achievements; no memory-loss plot devices necessary. Happy Birthday!
