Popular actor Barry Watson (7th Heaven, What About Brian, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Watson, a cultural icon

Born Michael Barrett Watson in Traverse City on April 23, 1974, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Watson'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 Watson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Barry, you're the best!
