Wilson Bethel is celebrating his 42nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Wilson Bethel (Hart of Dixie, The Young and the Restless, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 42nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Bethel, a cultural icon

Born Stephen Wilson Bethel in Hillsborough on February 24, 1984, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Bethel'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 Wilson hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Wilson Bethel as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 42.

Happy Birthday, Wilson, you're the best!
