Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on February 17, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Lou Diamond Phillips! Whether you're rocking the guitar in "La Bamba," navigating tense moments aboard spaceships on "Stargate Universe," or charming us all with your surprisingly agile kitchen moves on reality cooking shows—you're forever timeless and always entertaining.

From portraying Richie Valens to showing off fantastic grit as Henry Standing Bear in “Longmire,” you've kept audiences captivated decade after decade. Who else effortlessly transitions from courtroom dramas to sci-fi adventures without missing a beat? Here's hoping your birthday is filled with less drama than an action-packed film set—but just enough cake-induced suspense!

Keep shining bright like the diamond you are!
