Columbus Short is celebrating his 43rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-dancer-singer Columbus Short (Scandal, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 43rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Short, a cultural icon
Born Columbus Keith Short, Jr. in Kansas City on September 19, 1982, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Short'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 Columbus hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Columbus Short as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 43.
Happy Birthday, Columbus, you're the best!
