Born in Melbourne on August 9, 1968, Eric Bana's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Australian history. Bana'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 Eric hasn't done.

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