Chevy Chase is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-author Chevy Chase (Community, National Lampoon's Vacation, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Chase, a cultural icon

Born Cornelius Crane Chase in New York on October 8, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Chase'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 Chevy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Chevy Chase as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.

Happy Birthday, Chevy, you're the best!
