Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on November 03, 1960)

Happy Birthday, William Monahan! May your day be filled with more twists and turns than "The Departed," fewer existential crises than "Oblivion," and just enough suspense to keep things interesting—without the drama of "Edge of Darkness." Your scripts have taught us that life is unpredictable, but birthdays should always come with cake.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more awards, acclaim, and inspiration. After all, anyone who can craft dialogue sharp enough to impress Scorsese deserves a celebration worthy of Hollywood legend. Cheers to another year of brilliant storytelling—and may your plot twists always surprise us!
