William H. Macy is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-author William H. Macy (The Sessions, The Wool Cap, Door to Door, Fargo, Shameless, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Macy, a cultural icon

Born William Hall Macy in Miami on March 13, 1950, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Macy'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 William H. hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for William H. Macy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, William H., you're the best!
