Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on October 19, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Roger R. Cross! From charming us all in "The L Word" with your magnetic presence to thrilling audiences across countless shows, you've mastered the art of stealing scenes—and often hearts—effortlessly. No wonder we keep forgiving you every time one series finishes; we just can't stay mad when another brilliant performance is always around the corner.

Here's wishing an actor who makes Canadian television even cooler a year filled with more intriguing scripts and fewer forgotten lines (not that we'd ever notice). Continue dazzling on-screen—you've successfully raised expectations ridiculously high! Enjoy cake today; tomorrow, it's back to captivating storytelling as usual.
