Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on May 29, 1979)

Hey Richard Lee Jackson, happy birthday! From capturing our teenage hearts as Ryan Parker on 'Saved by the Bell: The New Class,' you've always been classic cool. Who knew detention could look so stylish?

Through every role, your talent shines brighter than neon lockers at Bayside High! Here's hoping this year brings you even greater successes and adventures, filled with more laughs than a Zack Morris prank.

Keep inspiring us all—we're still waiting to see if Principal Belding lets you graduate from mischief-maker extraordinaire to legendary actor status (we certainly have!). Have an epic celebration worthy of halls-of-Bayside legend!
