The iconic and legendary actor turns 80 on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023.

Sylvester McCoy is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Sylvester McCoy (Doctor Who, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McCoy, a cultural icon

Born Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith in Dunoon on August 20, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Scottish history. McCoy'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 Sylvester hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sylvester McCoy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Sylvester, you're the best!
