Joe Pantoliano is celebrating his 75th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos, The Matrix, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 75th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Pantoliano, a cultural icon

Born Joseph Peter Pantoliano in Hoboken on September 12, 1951, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Pantoliano'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 Pantoliano as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 75.

Happy Birthday, Joe, you're the best!
