Tom McCarthy is celebrating his 60th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-actor Tom McCarthy (Spotlight, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 60th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McCarthy, a cultural icon

Born Thomas Joseph McCarthy in New Providence on June 7, 1966, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. McCarthy'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 Tom hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tom McCarthy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 60.

Happy Birthday, Tom, you're the best!
