Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on April 02, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Rick Cleveland! The brilliant mind who brought depth (and death!) to our screens with 'Six Feet Under,' and gave political banter on ‘The West Wing’ a comedic pulse. It's no wonder you snagged an Emmy back in 2000; we assume it still gets the best seat at dinner parties?

Wishing you another year of sharp wit, tight dialogue, and plots that don't leak faster than White House secrets. May your celebrations be more joyful than any walk-and-talk scene Aaron Sorkin ever dreamed up—and far less chaotic than a Fisher family reunion!

Cheers to many encore-worthy years ahead!
