Manu Payet is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-television host Manu Payet (The Players, The Perfect Date, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
