Joe Mantegna is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-producer-author-director Joe Mantegna (The Godfather Part III, Criminal Minds, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Mantegna, a cultural icon
Born Joseph Anthony Mantegna, Jr. in Chicago on November 13, 1947, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Mantegna'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 Joe hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Joe Mantegna as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.
Happy Birthday, Joe, you're the best!
