Happy Birthday, Lex Luthor

Oceanside, NY native and New York Rangers fan Michael Rosenbaum turns 33 today. Time and time again on the melodramatic meltdown that is TV's Smallville, Rosenbaum reminds us what real acting is.

Veteran character actor Bruce McGill, Jack Dalton on MacGyver, turns 55 today. While the scheming, scamming pilot Dalton was more whimsical than C.J. Stone, he had a part in shaping C.J., especially in the episode introducing Dalton:

MacGyver arrives home to find his apartment picked clean. Clues lead him to a hangar where he reunites with childhood friend Dalton. Dalton enlists Mac's help to rescue their gal pal (played by Patricia McPherson) from a drug runner and the corrupt colonel in his pocket.

Finally, Sela Ward turns 49 today. She did a memorable turn on TV's House this past season as Stacy Warner, the woman from Dr. House's past whose quick decision to operate cost House the use of his leg.
