Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on November 12, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Nick Schenk! No better day than today to put down that screenplay and enjoy life's plot twists. Just remember, unlike Clint Eastwood's character in Gran Torino, you can't just growl at people who ruin your cake; you'll need a rewrite for that scene.

Your compelling storytelling gave us iconic moments we'd never forget—especially those brilliant one-liners delivered by Hollywood legends. May this birthday bring laughs as genuine as your dialogue and applause louder than the praise garnered when Clint brought your unforgettable script to life. Here's to another year of success, sharp wit, and cinematic brilliance!
