Jimbo’s Birthday Wishes (06/17/26)

K.J. Apa is 29.  Archie on “Riverdale”.  He’s starring as Jimmy Stewart in an upcoming movie about his life called “Jimmy“.  It hits theaters in November.

Monica Barbaro is 36.  Arnold’s daughter Emma on “FUBAR”.

Kendrick Lamar is 39.  Pulitzer Prize winner.

Tramell Tillman is 41.  Seth Milchick on “Severance”.  He’s also the commander of the rescue sub in “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning”.

Jodie Whittaker is 44.  The first female “Doctor Who”, a.k.a. the 13th Doctor.

Arthur Darvill is 44.  “Doctor Who” fans would remember him as Amy Pond’s husband Rory Williams and a fellow companion for the 11th Doctor.  For the rest of you, he was Rip Hunter on “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”.

Venus Williams is 46.  Tennis star.

Will Forte is 56. He IS MacGruber . . . and “The Last Man on Earth”.

Jason Patric is 60.  Corey Haim’s brother in “The Lost Boys”.  And Sandra Bullock’s love interest in the franchise-killing “Speed 2: Cruise Control”.  He’s also the grandson of comedy legend Jackie Gleason.  Jason’s dad was Jason Miller, who played Father Damien in “The Exorcist”.

Erin & Diane Murphy are 62.  Twin sisters who shared the role of Tabitha on “Bewitched”.  They were fraternal twins, not identical ones . . . so, when they started looking less alike, Diane was fired, and Erin got to keep the job.

Greg Kinnear is 63.  “Little Miss Sunshine”, and “As Good as It Gets”.

Thomas Haden Church is 66.  Robert Dufresne on HBO’s “Divorce”.  He was incredible as Jack in “Sideways” . . . but to ME he’ll always be Lowell on “Wings”.

Bobby Farrelly is 68.  One half of the fabulous Farrelly Brothers, the comedy geniuses behind “There’s Something About Mary”, “Kingpin”, “Dumb and Dumber”, “Shallow Hal”, “The Three Stooges” and “Dumb and Dumber To”.

Mark Linn-Baker is 72.  Cousin Larry on “Perfect Strangers” . . . and pretty much nothing else.  I say: Good decision, Mark Linn-Baker. Why tarnish your acting legacy when you already achieved perfection?

Joe Piscopo is 75.  Still the biggest cautionary tale for actors who are thinking about prematurely leaving “Saturday Night Live” for film careers.

Barry Manilow is 83.  True living legend behind “Copacabana (At the Copa)“, “Mandy“, and “I Write the Songs“.

Newt Gingrich is 83.  Former Speaker of the House . . . from 1995 – 1999.
