Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on January 08, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Simon Merrells! From commanding gladiators in "Spartacus" to captivating audiences as Marcus Licinius Crassus, you've proven that ancient Rome never looked so good—or intimidating. Your powerful performances have left us both inspired and slightly terrified (in the best possible way).

Whether you're portraying complex villains or heroic figures, your talent shines brighter than a Roman shield under midday sun. May this birthday bring you more epic roles, endless applause, and perhaps fewer sword fights—unless that's how you'd prefer celebrating!

Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and memorable moments on screen. Cheers to you!
