Charlie Day is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-author Charlie Day (Pacific Rim, Horrible Bosses, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Day, a cultural icon

Born Charles Peckham Day in New York on February 9, 1976, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Day'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 Charlie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Charlie Day as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Charlie, you're the best!
