Happy Birthday to

Theodore Bikel

85 today

Solid character actor on the screen, broadway legend and expert on european folk music Theodore Bikel is one of entertainment's renaissaince men. It's his stage work that defines him though, with over 2000 performances of Fiddler on the Roof under his belt. The picture is taken from his 2008 show (that's right still working the stage) "Sholom Aleichem: Laughter Through Tears".
