Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 16, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Richard T. Jones! From your unforgettable role as Bruce Van Exel in "Judging Amy," you've consistently brought depth and charisma to every character you portray—making courtroom drama look effortlessly cool (and let's face it, that's no easy feat!).

Whether you're delivering powerful performances on screen or charming audiences with that signature smile off-screen, it's clear age is just a number for someone who keeps getting better like fine wine—or perhaps more accurately—a perfectly timed dramatic pause.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success both professionally and personally—and may the only judgment today be how incredibly awesome this birthday turns out!
