Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on October 15, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Michael Garner! From captivating audiences in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" to your unforgettable performances in classics like "Roots" and Brecht’s masterpiece, "The Caucasian Chalk Circle," you've proven that talent truly has no limits. Whether commanding the stage or lighting up our screens on EastEnders and Vital Signs, you always deliver brilliance with a dash of charm.

Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations (and perhaps fewer dramatic exits!). May your birthday be as timelessly entertaining as your career—full of laughter, applause…and hopefully cake that's easier to handle than some theatrical props. Cheers!
