Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on October 13, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Steve Belford! From navigating the halls of Degrassi as Jesse Stefanovic—where your charm and wit made teenage drama look effortless—to captivating audiences with every role since, you've truly mastered the art of stealing scenes (and hearts). Your portrayal remains iconic; after all these years, fans still debate whether Jesse was misunderstood or just too charming for his own good.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you more laughs than a blooper reel and fewer complications than a Degrassi love triangle. May your year ahead be filled with exciting new roles, continued success on screen—and absolutely no teen angst whatsoever. Cheers to another fantastic chapter!
