Rodrigo Santoro is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Rodrigo Santoro (Lost, 300, Love Actually, Westworld, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Santoro, a cultural icon

Born Rodrigo Junqueira dos Reis Santoro in Petrópolis on August 22, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history. Santoro'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 Rodrigo hasn't done.
