Shemar Moore is celebrating his 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-model Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Moore, a cultural icon

Born Shemar Franklin Moore in Oakland on April 20, 1970, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Moore'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 Shemar hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Shemar Moore as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Shemar, you're the best!
