Dane Cook is celebrating his 54th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian Dane Cook (My Best Friend's Girl, Good Luck Chuck, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 54th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cook, a cultural icon

Born Dane Jeffrey Cook in Cambridge on March 18, 1972, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cook'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 Dane hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Dane Cook as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 54.

Happy Birthday, Dane, you're the best!
