Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on May 01, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Julie Benz! From slaying vampires on "Buffy" and stealing hearts as Darla in "Angel," to keeping us captivated as Dexter's charming Rita—your talents truly never go out of style. Seriously, whether you're battling supernatural creatures or catching serial killers unaware, you set the dramatic stakes higher than anyone.

Thanks for reminding us why action-packed sagas like "Rambo" (2008) stay timelessly thrilling; clearly your charm survives explosions and vampire bites alike. Wishing you a day as memorable—and hopefully less chaotic—than your adventures onscreen. May your next year be filled with successes that even Dexter would smile about (and that's saying something)!
