Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on September 25, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Van Hansis! From Oakdale drama to captivating stages and screens everywhere—you've mastered the art of stealing scenes (and hearts) effortlessly. Whether navigating Luke Snyder's rollercoaster romances on "As the World Turns" or bringing depth and charm into every role you tackle, your talent shines brighter than Barbara Ryan’s jewelry collection.

Here's wishing a birthday filled with laughter as timeless as daytime soap cliffhangers—and success that keeps audiences hooked episode after episode. May this year bring even more memorable performances, applause-filled curtain calls, and perhaps fewer dramatic pauses—though we secretly love those too! Cheers to another fantastic chapter ahead!
