Brad Bird is celebrating his 68th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.
Popular director-screenwriter-producer Brad Bird (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 68th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Bird, a cultural icon
Born Phillip Bradley Bird in Kalispell on September 24, 1957, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Bird's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Brad hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Brad Bird as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 68.
Happy Birthday, Brad, you're the best!
