Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on January 01, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lawrence! Here's to the man who brought life and villainy (and perpetual tiny frustration) to Bikini Bottom's greatest evil genius, Plankton. Over the years, you've taught us valuable lessons: persistence pays off—unless you're chasing a secret formula—then perhaps it's time for plan "Z." Your impeccable voice work has given us endless laughter and quotable villain moments that stand timeless.

Not just an iconic voice actor but also a gifted writer behind some of SpongeBob's funniest episodes—we raise our Krabby Patties today honoring your remarkable talent. May this birthday bring you joy, success…and maybe one step closer to finally securing that recipe!
