Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on September 04, 1968)

Happy Birthday, John William DiMaggio! Whether you're bending rules (and robots) as Bender in Futurama or stretching the limits of friendship and adventure as Jake the Dog, your voice has become iconic. Who else could make a foul-mouthed robot lovable or turn an elastic canine into everyone's favorite philosopher?

From blitzballing with Wakka to quietly roaring wisdom through Kimahri in Final Fantasy X, you've given life—and laughs—to characters we cherish forever. May your birthday be filled with more joy than Bender at happy hour and adventures even crazier than those shared by Finn and Jake. Cheers to you!
