Eddie Griffin is celebrating his 58th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian Eddie Griffin (Undercover Brother, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 58th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Griffin, a cultural icon

Born Edward Rubin Griffin in Kansas City on July 15, 1968, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Griffin'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 Eddie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Eddie Griffin as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 58.

Happy Birthday, Eddie, you're the best!
