Today’s birthday celebrity began his acting career in the 1980s starring in such films as “In the Mood” and “Can’t Buy me Love,” and now you can see him on Thursday nights on ABC starring as Dr. McDreamy. Do you know who he is?

Did you guess Patrick Dempsey. Is so, you’re correct! Also receiving birthday wishes today include Seinfeld’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus, English heartthrob Orlando Bloom, and Richard Moll of Night Court.
