Zac Efron is celebrating his 38th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-singer-dancer-model Zac Efron (The Lucky One, High School Musical, Summerland, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 38th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Efron, a cultural icon

Born in San Luis Obispo on October 18, 1987, Zac Efron's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Efron'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 Zac hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Zac Efron as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 38.

Happy Birthday, Zac, you're the best!
