Ted Danson is celebrating his 77th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-producer Ted Danson (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Becker, Cheers, The Good Place, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 77th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Danson, a cultural icon

Born Edward Bridge Danson III in San Diego on December 29, 1947, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Danson'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 Ted hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ted Danson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 77.

Happy Birthday, Ted, you're the best!
