Peter Jackson is celebrating his 63rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Peter Jackson (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 63rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Jackson, a cultural icon

Born Peter Robert Jackson in Pukerua Bay on October 31, 1961, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in history. Jackson's not just a great director, 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 Jackson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 63.

Happy Birthday, Peter, you're the best!
