Tom Shadyac is celebrating his 67th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer-comedian-actor Tom Shadyac (Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 67th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Shadyac, a cultural icon

Born Thomas Peter Shadyac in Falls Church on December 11, 1958, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Shadyac'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 Shadyac as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 67.

Happy Birthday, Tom, you're the best!
