Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on August 23, 1973)

Happy Birthday, William Zorzi! May your day be filled with more plot twists than a season finale of "The Wire," and fewer surprises than Baltimore politics. Your brilliant storytelling has given us unforgettable moments—characters so real we half-expect them to crash your birthday party. Here's hoping your cake is sweeter than Omar's revenge and that the candles burn brighter than McNulty's temper.

Congratulations on another year of award-winning scripts and captivating narratives. May this next chapter bring you even greater success, endless inspiration, and fewer rewrites. After all, unlike Baltimore city hall meetings, birthdays should always end on time!
