Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on December 31, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Lance Reddick! Whether you're keeping Baltimore in check as the unflappable Lt. Cedric Daniels on "The Wire," or commanding respect with your iconic voice and steely gaze, you've always been a master of authority—and making us sit up straighter whenever you appear onscreen.

From navigating complex cases to effortlessly stealing scenes in recent hits like "John Wick" and "Bosch," your performances remain timelessly cool. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer wiretaps and more cake slices—because even tough guys deserve frosting!

Cheers to another year of unforgettable roles, impeccable suits, and that legendary stare.
