Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on June 23, 1964)

Happy Birthday to the mastermind who brought vampires, demons, slayers—and quirky humor—into our homes! Joss, your brilliant mind gave us Buffy’s snappy one-liners and Angel’s brooding charm. Honestly, it's thanks to you that we know how to survive high school while fighting evil—or at least how to look good trying.

Beyond Sunnydale unpleasantness and Wolfram & Hart legal woes, you've proven your mastery in crafting unforgettable stories filled with wit and heart. Here's hoping this upcoming year brings you as many joyful surprises as a Buffy apocalypse episode. May your birthday be vampire-free—and loaded with cake!
