Hunter Ansley Wryn b. 1994 (Serenity)
Andrea Riseborough b. 1981 (Oblivion)
Jeff East b. 1957 (Superman, The Day After)
Robert Picardo b. 1953 (Star Trek: Voyager, Innerspace, Gremlins 2, Star Trek: First Contact, Stargate SG-1)
Peter Firth b. 1953 (Lifeforce, Mighty Joe Young)
Angus MacInness (Star Wars, Space:1999)
Ivan Reitman b. 1946 (director, Ghostbusters, My Super Ex-Girlfriend)
John Cleese b. 1939 (Shrek, Harry Potter, The Day the Earth Stood Still)
Interesting list today. Hunter Ansley Wryn played the younger version of River Tan in Serenity and Jeff East played the younger version of Clark Kent in Superman. John Cleese may be the best known face on the list and Angus MacInness was Gold Leader in the original Star Wars, but for roles in genre, Robert Picardo deserves the Picture Slot this first year.
Many happy returns to all our birthday boys and girls.
