Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on November 30, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Dillane! May your celebrations be warmer than Stannis Baratheon's sense of humor and brighter than his claim to the Iron Throne. Your portrayal of Westeros' sternest king gave us unforgettable moments—especially that epic glare capable of freezing White Walkers in their tracks.

From commanding Dragonstone with unwavering seriousness to delivering lines sharper than Valyrian steel, you've made brooding an art form. Here's hoping your birthday cake isn't as stubbornly resistant as Castle Black's gates—and may you always have fewer shadow demons at parties!

Cheers to another year filled with success, laughter (yes, even yours), and memorable performances!
