James Cromwell is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor James Cromwell (The Artist, Six Feet Under, Babe, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Cromwell, a cultural icon
Born James Oliver Cromwell in Los Angeles on January 27, 1940, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cromwell'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 James hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for James Cromwell as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.
Happy Birthday, James, you're the best!
