John Savage 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 John Savage (The Thin Red Line, The Godfather Part III, The Deer Hunter, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 75th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Savage, a cultural icon

Born John Youngs in Old Bethpage on August 25, 1949, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Savage'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 Savage as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 75.

Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
