Stephen Root is celebrating his 74th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-comedian Stephen Root (NewsRadio, Office Space, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 74th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Root, a cultural icon
Born in Sarasota on November 17, 1951, Stephen Root's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Root'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 Stephen hasn't done.
