Len Cariou is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Len Cariou (Secret Window, Blue Bloods, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cariou, a cultural icon

Born Leonard Joseph Cariou in St. Boniface on September 30, 1939, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Cariou'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 Len hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Len Cariou as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.

Happy Birthday, Len, you're the best!
