Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on March 14, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Max Benitz! From your unforgettable role as Peter Calamy in "Master and Commander," you've sailed straight into our hearts. Whether navigating stormy seas or charming audiences with that classic British wit, you always deliver performances worth celebrating.

Here's hoping this year brings even more adventures—on screen and off—as memorable as those epic naval battles (but perhaps less cannon fire). May your birthday be filled with laughter, cake that's sweeter than victory at sea, and friends who appreciate a good actor's dramatic flair. Cheers to another fantastic voyage around the sun; keep making waves wherever life takes you!
