Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on March 15, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Tom Budge! From your captivating performances in "Candy" to the gritty charm you brought into "Gallipoli," you've consistently proven that Australian cinema wouldn't be quite as memorable without your unique flair. Whether you're stealing scenes or subtly enhancing them, audiences can't help but smile—sometimes laugh out loud—and always appreciate every moment of screen time.

Here's hoping this year brings even more exciting roles and unforgettable adventures (and perhaps fewer auditions involving questionable accents). Keep shining bright on-screen and off; may today bring laughter louder than a kookaburra's call and celebrations warmer than an Aussie summer barbecue!
