Barry Pepper is celebrating his 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Barry Pepper (Monster Trucks, Saving Private Ryan, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Pepper, a cultural icon

Born Barry Robert Pepper in Campbell River on April 4, 1970, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Pepper's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Barry hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Barry Pepper as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Barry, you're the best!
