Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on December 30, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Steve Nguyen! From surviving spooky campfires in "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" to navigating awkward teen moments on "Freaks and Geeks," you've truly mastered the art of making us laugh, cringe, and cheer all at once. Whether you're charming Vegas casinos or scrubbing into comedic chaos at Sacred Heart Hospital, your performances always hit the jackpot.

Here's hoping your birthday is as epic as that unforgettable boot-camp scene from "Jarhead"—minus any yelling drill sergeants. Keep writing scripts that make us smile and acting roles we can't forget; after all these years, you're still our favorite screen-stealing Nguyen!
