49 years old (Born on December 29, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Shawn! From saving the day (and possibly humanity itself) back in "The Faculty," to your intense performances that continue thrilling fans today, you've masterfully managed to avoid those alien invasions—and aging gracefully along the way. Your charisma on-screen always manages a perfect balance: effortlessly cool yet sincerely relatable.

In recent years, you've shined brilliantly in projects like "Animal Kingdom"—truly capturing audiences and reminding Hollywood exactly why you're irreplaceable. Wishing you another fantastic year ahead filled with gripping roles, laughs aplenty, and absolutely no secret extraterrestrial teachers in sight. Celebrate big—you've earned it!
