Onboard the Sandminer,

familiar?)
Although you don’t
celebrate your birthday with any Torchwood or Who cast or crew that we’ve
managed to find, you do celebrate your birthday with a few other tv and film
celebrities, two of which are Peter Pan actor, Jeremy Sumpter who is 25 today, and Martin Sheen 45 today, he played Tony Blair to Helen Mirren’s Queen
Elizabeth II.
Enjoy the rest of your
birthday
