ericstonestreet.jpgEric Stonestreet

Born: September 9, 1971 in Kansas City, Kansas, USA

My dad had a retail business in Leavenworth, Kansas, and there’s a whole bunch of prisons there, so it was a backdrop of my childhood, these ominous prisons sitting off the road.

Happy Birthday: Hugh Grant

hughgrant.jpgHugh Grant

Born: September 9, 1960 in Hammersmith, London, England, UK

[on playing “the bad guy” in films] Now, I quite like it. For years I sat in these interviews and everyone said, “You’re always Mister Nice Guy, why don’t you ever play someone nasty?” So in fact it’s been a relief to be . . . for the real me to come out more on camera. I don’t have any particular burning desire to go back to being cuddly. Not really.

Born: September 9, 1980 in Kalispell, Montana, USA

[on Heath Ledger’s death in 2008] In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone. It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear from behind a bush. It was a year of very magical thinking and, in some ways, I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.

Happy Birthday: Zoe Kazan

zoekazan.jpgZoe Kazan

Born: September 9, 1983 in Los Angeles, California, USA

[on playwriting] I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it’s probably a character problem. It’s fun and easy to write language, but there were things I loved that I had to get rid of because they are no longer carrying their weight.

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

Happy Birthday: Kimberly Peirce

kimberlypeirce.jpg Kimberly Peirce

Born: September 8, 1967 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA

You talk to any director, it’s tough. It’s tough to make movies that you love.

I like to go for the reality, I like to go for what’s underneath. And I don’t even judge it. But that isn’t what all Hollywood movies are. That’s an example where my success in Boys Don’t Cry (1999) brought me this great Hollywood career and all these offers that I really appreciate, but I really have a very particular thing that I like doing. I love real emotion, I love real drama.
