Gabriel Byrne is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-director-producer-author Gabriel Byrne (Vikings, In Treatment, The Usual Suspects, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Byrne, a cultural icon

Born Gabriel James Byrne in Dublin on May 12, 1950, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Irish history. Byrne'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 Gabriel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gabriel Byrne as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, Gabriel, you're the best!
