Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on June 22, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Michael Lerner! From your unforgettable role in "The Candidate," you've shown us that politics can indeed be both serious and seriously funny. Your brilliant portrayal of Corliss reminded us all that behind every great candidate is an even greater strategist—preferably one with impeccable comedic timing.

Here's to celebrating another year of your timeless talent and recent successes. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer campaign speeches—but plenty of applause. Keep inspiring us with your wit and charm; after all, you're the only candidate we'd unanimously vote for every single time!
