Sam Worthington 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 Sam Worthington (Clash of the Titans, Avatar, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Worthington, a cultural icon

Born Samuel Henry John Worthington in Godalming on August 2, 1976, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Australian history. Worthington'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 Worthington as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Sam, you're the best!
