Simon Pegg is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-author-producer-director Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Hot Fuzz, Mission: Impossible III, Shaun of the Dead, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
