I was looking up celebrity birthdays, with an eye for a themed DeathPool list. For fun I looked up the birthdays of celebrity folks who are very close in age to me. I was surprised to find how close in age I was to the following. Month/Day/ Year  10 2 54 Lorrain Bracco 10 9 54 Scott Bakula 11 19 54 Kathleen Quinlan 12 18 54 Ray Liotta 12 28 54 Denzel Washington 12 31 54 Me 12 31 54 Alexander Salmond, Scots politician and officeholder 1 6 55 Rowan Atkinson 1 9 55 J K Simmons 1 18 55 Kevin Costner 2 8 55 John Grisham 2 19 55 Jeff Daniels 2 21 55 Kelsey Grammer 2 28 55 Gilbert Gottfried 3 28 55 Reba McEntire Miguel Ferrer would have been on there, as he was born2/7/55, but he’s gone. Anyone else ever do this, I mean, check for celebrities who were very close in age to you? ---

I’m the same age as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Gary Oldman, and Michelle Pfeiffer. That keeps me from feeling too old. ---

I’m a week and change younger than Dustin Diamond and Amber Benson, and three days younger than Orlando Bloom. They’re the only ones within 2 weeks of me that I’m familiar with. But Wikipedia does list a lot of births in Jan 77…just nobody I recognize. ---

Jim Parsons is one day older than me. He’s also a lot more famous, no doubt due solely to some cosmic force of being one day older and not because of any decisions we made in life. Adam Scott is within ten days of me. Bingbing Li, Adrien Brody and Jennifer Esposito are within a month of me but that gets less interesting than days you can count on your fingers. ---
