Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on October 30, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Michael Polish! May your day be as flawlessly directed as your most compelling films and filled with plot twists even you couldn't have scripted better. From "Twin Falls Idaho" to the poetic magic of "Northfork," you've given us cinema that's memorable and refreshingly authentic.

Your knack for storytelling continues to captivate audiences worldwide, proving you're truly ageless—much like the timeless artistry within your movies. Keep inspiring laughter, tears, thoughtfulness (and perhaps occasional confusion) through each new project you brilliantly tackle. Here's hoping this year brings more great scripts—and fewer bloopers behind-the-scenes!

Cheers to a remarkable next chapter!
