Gary Cole is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Gary Cole (Veep, Office Space, Midnight Caller, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cole, a cultural icon

Born Gary Michael Cole in Park Ridge on September 20, 1956, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cole'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 Gary hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gary Cole as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Gary, you're the best!
