And a Happy Birthday shout-out to Hugh Jackman, who turns 53 today!

Hugh Jackman has uniquely balanced a movie and theatre career that has made him a star on Broadway as well as at multiplexes around the world.

He was most recently seen in the theatre world starring in The Greatest Showman. He also starred as Jean Valjean in the 2012 movie adaptation of Les Miserables.

On stage, he won critical kudos and awards for the Australian productions of Sunset Boulevard and Disney's Beauty and the Beast. In London he starred in Trevor Nunn's staging of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! at The National Theatre. This was followed by his Broadway debut portraying the 1970's singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, for which he received the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a musical as well as Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards.

In the fall of 2009, Jackman made a return to Broadway in a sold-out engagement of Keith Huff's A Steady Rain co-starring Daniel Craig.

His other Broadway credits include Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway, and The River.
