Chris Parnell is celebrating his 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-singer Chris Parnell (Suburgatory, Anchorman, Archer, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Parnell, a cultural icon

Born Thomas Christopher Parnell in Memphis on February 5, 1967, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Parnell'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 Chris hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Chris Parnell as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 59.

Happy Birthday, Chris, you're the best!
