Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on July 23, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Matthew Erickson! The legendary voice behind Amuro Ray in 'Zeta Gundam,' your ability to pilot giant robots vocally rivals any mobile suit ace. Your iconic portrayals have given countless anime fans cherished memories (and probably some mild vocal envy), keeping us captivated with each heroic shout and battle cry.

From the futuristic battles of Zoids to so many diverse characters you've brought joyfully alive—thank you for being consistently awesome across all worlds, real or animated. May this birthday be as timelessly epic as your performances: full of adventure, friendship…and maybe a little cake-flavored nostalgia thrown into the mix too!
