Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on July 20, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Roberto Orci! You boldly took us where no writer dared before—reimagining Star Trek with heart, humor, and lens flares bright enough to power a starship. Your imagination gave Fringe its delightful weirdness (alternate universes were never so bingeable!). And let's not forget you turned Sleepy Hollow into the perfect combo of history class meets supernatural mayhem.

Seriously though, your creative storytelling has given fans countless sci-fi marvels they're likely still debating over coffee—or Romulan ale. Here's wishing your birthday is filled with fewer plot twists than your shows—but nearly as much excitement. Warp speed ahead, Roberto!
