This is kind of a random thread, but I just noticed JediX and I have the same birthday and it got me thinking about sharing birthdays with other people. It seems like most people can say that at least someone rather famous was born the same day as them, and sometimes you're lucky enough that it's somebody you think is really cool. For me, it's my favorite President, Abraham Lincoln. I'm a huge admirer of his, and I think it's awesome that we have the same birthday. Also interestingly, one of my best friends shares a birthday with Paul Simon and two of my best friends share a birthday with Art Garfunkel. And I'm one of the biggest Simon and Garfunkel fans out there! :big_grin: So do any of you have any cool birthday connections?

My best friend's birthday is the same as Michael Jackson's (which, ironically, is the date for judgment day in T2).

You probably all know this already but I have heard that Steve Whitmire shares a birthday with Jim Henson, I'm quite sure its true but is this a coincedence or is it a coincedence? :smile:

I share a birthday with *ugh* Scott Foley, and *whoo-hooo!* the Undercover Brother himself, Eddie Griffin.

Exact birthday? (same year) The Captain America kid from Master of Disguise.

Also share a birthday with director/actor, Forrest Whitaker. If you don't recogonize the name, he played the cop in Phone Booth.

Those are the most notable, anyway.
