Spike Jonze is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-producer-actor Spike Jonze (Her, Where the Wild Things Are, Being John Malkovich, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Jonze, a cultural icon

Born Adam Spiegel in Rockville on October 22, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Jonze's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Spike hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Spike Jonze as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Spike, you're the best!
