Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on May 15, 1962)

Happy birthday, Rod! Another year wiser—but who's counting? You're still directing masterpieces like "The Outpost," keeping actors on their toes and audiences at the edge of their seats. Truly commendable how you've mastered blending gritty realism with heart-pounding drama; Spielberg is probably taking notes.

Wishing you a celebration worthy of your cinematic talents—may it be filled with perfect takes, rave reviews, and absolutely zero plot twists (unless they're funny ones). Here's to another amazing journey around the sun that's sure to bring more brilliant scenes both behind the camera—and hopefully featured prominently during awards season. Party on!
