Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on May 17, 1956)

Happy Birthday, William! May your celebrations boldly go where no cake has gone before! Your brilliant contributions to Star Trek: The Next Generation have left us laughing and thinking in warp drive. An extra candle today shouldn't worry a talent who's navigated ships that travel faster than the speed of acne after chocolate.

Whether scripting Captain Picard's dilemmas or showcasing Data’s quirky humor, you've ensured we see galaxies filled with wit and wisdom. As you celebrate another stellar orbit around life's sun, remember there's no aging at Warp 9—only timeless creativity mesmerizes beyond starlight years!
