John Ortiz is celebrating his 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor John Ortiz (Kong: Skull Island, Silver Linings Playbook, Fast & Furious, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Ortiz, a cultural icon
Born in New York on May 23, 1968, John Ortiz's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Ortiz'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 John hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for John Ortiz as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 57.
Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
