Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on October 10, 1956)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Mark Gordon—the one producer who could take us from high-speed cruise ships in "Speed 2: Cruise Control" to thrilling suspense with "The Jackal," and still keep his sanity intact! You're proof that even sequels can become timeless classics, or at least classic conversation starters.

As a celebrated leader of the Producers Guild of America, you've mastered more plot twists than any blockbuster script—yet remained unfailingly cool under Hollywood pressure. May your birthday be free from unexpected rewrites and filled instead with laughter, good friends…and hopefully no runaway luxury yachts causing havoc this time around!
