Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on September 04, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Kai Owen! From recurring sidekick Rhys Williams to Torchwood's sturdy culinary champion and alien-fighting spouse, your evolution has been as remarkable—and hilarious—as the carnage left behind by Weevils in Cardiff. Nobody slices a sarcastic remark or dishes out wisdom quite like you—clearly deserving of your bump-up from supporting player to essential teammate.

May this birthday be "Torchwood-level" exciting—but perhaps without rogue aliens crashing through the ceiling mid-party (or Jack Harkness borrowing things indefinitely). Thanks for bringing heart, humor, and fearless fry-cooking skills every step of Rhys' journey. Here's celebrating another adventure-filled year ahead!
