John Singleton is celebrating his 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer John Singleton (Four Brothers, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Boyz n the Hood, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Singleton, a cultural icon

Born John Daniel Singleton in Los Angeles on January 6, 1968, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Singleton's not just a great director, 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 Singleton as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 57.

Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
