Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 11, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Marc Blucas! From bravely battling vampires as Riley Finn on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," you've shown us that even demon-fighting soldiers can have a soft side. Your charm and wit made Sunnydale safer—and our TV screens brighter—proving once again that dating Buffy Summers is tougher than any apocalypse.

Beyond vampire slaying, your continued success in film and television reminds us all you're more than just Buffy's ex-boyfriend. Whether portraying heartfelt drama or comedic roles, you always deliver performances worth celebrating. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer demons and more cake—because even heroes deserve dessert!
