Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on September 27, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Tod Williams! May your day be filled with more surprises than "The Door in the Floor" and fewer scares than "Paranormal Activity 2." Your storytelling has always kept us intrigued—sometimes amused, sometimes terrified—but never bored. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater cinematic adventures (and perhaps a few less haunted houses).

From capturing complex emotions to mastering suspenseful scenes, you've given audiences unforgettable moments on screen. As you celebrate another trip around the sun today, may life continue directing wonderful stories for you—with plenty of laughter behind every door...even if it's in the floor!
