Popular actor Shea Whigham (Kong: Skull Island, Boardwalk Empire, American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Whigham, a cultural icon

Born Franklin Shea Whigham, Jr. in Tallahassee on January 5, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Whigham'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 Shea hasn't done.
