Dale Dye is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-soldier Dale Dye (Saving Private Ryan, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Dye, a cultural icon

Born in Cape Girardeau on October 8, 1944, Dale Dye's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Dye'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 Dale hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Dale Dye as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Dale, you're the best!
