Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on December 11, 1979)

Happy birthday, Rider Strong! From your iconic days as Shawn Hunter on "Boy Meets World," you've taught us valuable life lessons—like how to rock a leather jacket and perfect the art of teenage angst. Your portrayal made growing up seem both hilarious and heartfelt, proving that friendship (and great hair) can survive anything.

Now as an accomplished screenwriter, director, and producer, you're still inspiring audiences with creativity behind the camera. Whether it's nostalgia or new adventures ahead, we hope this year brings you plenty of laughs—and fewer Feeny lectures!

Here's to another fantastic chapter filled with success and joy!
