Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on December 09, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Richard Brooks! Another year older and still driving circles around everyone else—pun absolutely intended. Your unforgettable role in "Drive" had us gripping our seats tighter than your character gripped the steering wheel. Seriously, you made being intense look effortlessly cool.

Here's hoping this birthday brings as much excitement and success as your most memorable scenes on screen. May you continue to captivate audiences with performances that are smoother than a getaway car speeding down an open highway. Keep shining bright—you've clearly found the perfect gear for greatness!

Enjoy your day; just don't drive too fast celebrating!
