Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on April 18, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Mike Gomez! From boldly going where no one has gone before in Star Trek: The Next Generation to bowling us over with your unforgettable role in The Big Lebowski, you've truly mastered the art of intergalactic diplomacy and laid-back coolness. Whether you're navigating alien encounters or dealing with Dude-level dilemmas, you always deliver performances that are out-of-this-world.

And let's not forget those memorable appearances on Desperate Housewives, Chicago Hope, Hill Street Blues—and even unraveling mysteries alongside Mulder and Scully on The X-Files. Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary (and slightly less chaotic) than your impressive screen adventures!
