Sam Elliott is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Elliott, a cultural icon

Born Samuel Pack Elliott in Sacramento on August 9, 1944, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Elliott'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 Sam hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sam Elliott as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Sam, you're the best!
