Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on January 14, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Zach Gilford! From throwing touchdowns as Matt Saracen in "Friday Night Lights" to navigating life's spooky twists and turns on Netflix's "Midnight Mass," you've proven you can handle anything—be it high school football drama or supernatural mysteries. Clearly, your acting range is wider than Coach Taylor’s playbook!

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer awkward locker room pep talks and more celebrations worthy of a Dillon Panthers championship parade. May the coming year be filled with roles that showcase your talent—and maybe even one where you're not constantly stressed out by vampires or fourth-quarter comebacks.

Clear eyes, full heart... can't lose cake privileges today!
