John Shea is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-director John Shea (Mutant X, Lois & Clark, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Shea, a cultural icon

Born John Victor Shea III in North Conway on April 14, 1949, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Shea'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 Shea as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
