Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on October 17, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Sam Bottoms! From surfing the waves of Vietnam in "Apocalypse Now" to navigating Hollywood's wild jungles, you've always known how to make an unforgettable splash. Your iconic portrayal of Lance Johnson remains timeless—proving once and for all that even amidst chaos, there's always room for a little humor (and some epic surfing).

Here's wishing you another year filled with adventure, laughter, and success as memorable as your legendary roles. May your birthday be free from napalm mornings and full of good vibes only. Keep riding life's waves with style—we salute you today and every day!
