Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on February 27, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Karl Burnett! From your unforgettable days as Nick Harrison on Shortland Street—where you navigated drama-filled corridors and heart-stopping cliffhangers—you've kept us entertained with humor, charm, and a dash of Kiwi wit. Your portrayal made every scene memorable; who could forget those classic moments that had New Zealand glued to their screens?

Here's wishing the man behind everyone's favorite character another fantastic year ahead filled with laughter (and fewer hospital dramas!). May this birthday bring more success both onscreen and offscreen—and may life continue giving you storylines even better than any soap opera writer ever imagined. Cheers!
