Nick Cannon is celebrating his 46th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-rapper Nick Cannon (Wild 'n Out, America's Got Talent, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 46th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cannon, a cultural icon

Born Nicholas Scott Cannon in San Diego on October 8, 1980, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cannon'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 Nick hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Nick Cannon as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 46.

Happy Birthday, Nick, you're the best!
