Bob Balaban is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-author-producer-director Bob Balaban (Moonrise Kingdom, Gosford Park, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Balaban, a cultural icon

Born Robert Elmer Balaban in Chicago on August 16, 1945, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Balaban'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 Bob hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Bob Balaban as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.

Happy Birthday, Bob, you're the best!
