Paul Dano is celebrating his 40th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-producer Paul Dano (Looper, Ruby Sparks, Little Miss Sunshine, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 40th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Dano, a cultural icon

Born Paul Franklin Dano in New York on June 19, 1984, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Dano'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 Paul hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Paul Dano as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 40.

Happy Birthday, Paul, you're the best!
