Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on May 28, 1976)

Happy birthday, Liam O'Brien—voice-acting ninja! From controlling sand as Gaara to calmly commanding respect as Jushiro in Bleach, you've certainly voiced your way through anime royalty. Every time we hit play and hear that signature growl or thoughtful pause of yours, we can't help but cheer...or occasionally wonder if you're secretly mastering real-life ninjutsu.

But let's also toast your behind-the-scenes brilliance! Crafting witty scripts and helming voice direction for Marvel Anime's X-Men shows you've perfected both sides of the mic. Wishing our favorite vocal shapeshifter a day filled with laughter—and perhaps fewer existential crises than Gaara faces daily. Cheers!
