Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on February 22, 1985)

Happy birthday to Zach Roerig—the only guy who survived eight seasons of vampires, werewolves, and witches without supernatural powers! As Mystic Falls' favorite human Matt Donovan on "The Vampire Diaries," your incredible survival record deserves its own award. Thanks for teaching us that real bravery comes in keeping humans alive when everyone around you has fangs.

Cheers to more years filled with acting success and memorable adventures both onscreen and off-screen! May your day be vampire-free (or at least violence-free) as we celebrate the talent behind everyone's beloved hometown hero. Wishing you endless happiness—after all you've endured, it's the least we've got left in stock.
