Ben Kingsley is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Ben Kingsley (Schindler's List, Gandhi, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Kingsley, a cultural icon

Born in Snainton on December 31, 1943, Ben Kingsley's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Kingsley'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 Ben hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ben Kingsley as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Ben, you're the best!
