Peter Coyote is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-author-director-screenwriter Peter Coyote (A Walk to Remember, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Coyote, a cultural icon

Born Rachmil Pinchus Ben Mosha Cohon in New York on October 10, 1941, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Coyote'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 Peter hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Peter Coyote as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.

Happy Birthday, Peter, you're the best!
