Jake Busey is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-musician-producer Jake Busey (Starship Troopers, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Busey, a cultural icon

Born William Jacob Busey in Los Angeles on June 15, 1971, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Busey'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 Jake hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Jake, you're the best!
