Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on December 27, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Wilson Cruz! From stealing our hearts as Rickie Vasquez in "My So-Called Life," you've been effortlessly cool since the '90s. Honestly, your portrayal of Rickie's style and sass made high school hallways everywhere seem tragically dull by comparison.

Recently, you've boldly gone where no fabulous actor has gone before—lighting up screens aboard the USS Discovery in "Star Trek: Discovery." Your talent continues to inspire us all (and let's face it—space uniforms never looked so good). Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success—and plenty more iconic moments that make us say: “Beam me up, Wilson!”
