Peter Firth is celebrating his 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor Peter Firth (Spooks, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Firth, a cultural icon
Born Peter Macintosh Firth in Bradford on October 27, 1953, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Firth'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 Firth as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 72.
Happy Birthday, Peter, you're the best!
