Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on August 28, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Matthew John Armstrong! From bringing Pete Pryor to life on "American Dreams" to your explosive performance as Ted Sprague on NBC's "Heroes," you've always had a knack for lighting up the screen—sometimes literally. Your talent for portraying complex characters has left audiences both amazed and slightly wary of microwaves.

Here's wishing you another year filled with memorable roles, exciting adventures, and fewer radioactive mishaps. May your birthday be as timelessly entertaining as your performances—and may all candles extinguish safely without any unexpected superpowers emerging. Cheers to you, Matthew—keep making us laugh, gasp, and cheer!
