Josh Trank is celebrating his 42nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer-actor Josh Trank (Fantastic Four, Chronicle, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 42nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Trank, a cultural icon

Born Joshua Benjamin Trank in Los Angeles on February 19, 1984, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Trank'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 Josh hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Josh Trank as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 42.

Happy Birthday, Josh, you're the best!
