Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on February 04, 1956)

Happy birthday, Michael Simkins! Your captivating performances—especially as the wonderfully quirky Dr. Lionel Mead in "Doctors"—made us smile, chuckle, and occasionally question our medical histories altogether. You effortlessly balanced charm with comedic genius; here's hoping your celebrations involve significantly less drama than an episode of "EastEnders!"

Congratulations on another year of delighting audiences and bringing characters to life. May you keep inspiring laughter both on and off screen—and may your day be more uplifting (and far easier to diagnose) than some of Dr Mead's mysterious patients. Cheers to you, Michael—your knack for storytelling is the best prescription we've had yet!
