Jon Cryer is celebrating his 61st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-screenwriter-producer Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 61st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cryer, a cultural icon

Born Jonathan Niven Cryer in New York on April 16, 1965, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cryer'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 Jon hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jon Cryer as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 61.

Happy Birthday, Jon, you're the best!
