Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on October 09, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Scott Bakula! May your celebrations boldly go where no birthday has gone before. From quantum leaping into countless adventures as Sam Beckett to captaining the Enterprise NX-01 as Jonathan Archer, you've proven that jumping through time and space is just another day at work.

Thanks for showing us that heroism looks great whether in disco pants or Starfleet jumpsuits—and always keeping track of what decade you're supposed to be saving next. Here's hoping today you leap into plenty of cake, party streamers armed at Warp Factor Awesome, and a future filled with endless reruns in syndication!
