Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on February 12, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Michael Ironside! May your special day be filled with joy—and hopefully fewer exploding heads than in "Scanners." Your iconic glare alone has terrified and thrilled audiences for decades; honestly, no one does intense quite like you. Whether you're making us squirm as Darryl Revok or commanding respect as Lieutenant Rasczak in "Starship Troopers," you've always been unforgettable.

Here's to another year of success and memorable roles ahead—though we suspect nothing will ever top the legendary psychic showdown that made cinema history. Keep scanning our minds (but gently!) and enjoy a birthday that's explosive only metaphorically!
