Rudy’s Sean Astin and the Rest of This Week’s Birthdays

This week the stars are out celebrating for sure. There are plenty with birthdays and we’re here to recognize them and their great work. Here are some of those that are turning a year older this week.

Sean Astin may not be a name you recognize, but you should. He was the star of one of the greatest sports movies of all time, “Rudy.” He also played Samwise Gamgee in the movie series, Lord of the Rings.

Drew Barrymore was a star before she turned one! Did you know that she was a in commercial for dog food before that age? Well, this movie star has had her fair share of ups and downs, partially to blame for having success way too early in life we feel. She was great in Grey Gardens as well as Blended and Never Been Kissed.

Aziz Ansari is one of our favorite comedians out there, but he’s also had success on television as an actor. His role as Tom Haverford on Parks and Recreation was hilarious! Just two years ago he also released his first book, Modern Romance: An Investigation.

Trevor Noah, Tea Leoni, Cindy Crawford, Chelsea Peretti, Ashley Greene, Jordan Peele, Kelsey Grammer, Billy Zane and Rashida Jones all turn a year older this week as well.
