John Schneider is celebrating his 66th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-singer John Schneider (Smallville, The Dukes of Hazzard, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Schneider, a cultural icon

Born John Richard Schneider III in Mount Kisco on April 8, 1960, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Schneider'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.
