Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on September 29, 1945)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Reggie Bannister! Whether you're battling sinister silver spheres or cruising in your iconic ice cream truck, you've always kept us laughing and cheering. Your fearless portrayal of "Reggie" in Phantasm has given horror fans countless memorable moments—especially those epic showdowns with The Tall Man that made you everyone's favorite shotgun-wielding hero.

Here's hoping this birthday is as timelessly cool as your character's ponytail and filled with more adventures than a road trip through dimensions. Thanks for decades of thrills, chills, laughs—and reminding us never to underestimate an ice cream vendor armed against evil!
