Rose McGowan was born the day before me, Shannon Elizabeth the day after. Unfortunately, through this little game I found out RMcG is taking on the titular role in the impending Red Sonja. Yikes. ---

Ashley Parker Angel is a day older than me. I’ve heard of him, but he’s not all that famous. No, you have to go a little farther in the other direction for real fame–Roger Federer! Blake Lewis, who almost won American Idol, is just a tad bit older than me, as is Summer Glau. That’s everyone I recognize. ---

> [@Sefton](#): > > Angelina Jolie is two days older than me. Sigh. You beat me by a week - I was born the following Friday. I have no idea who all those other June names are though, with one notable exception: Tobey Maguire, born two weeks after me, on the 27th. I’m older than Spider-Man! ---

I was born one day before Kimmie Nipples and the same day as Peter Shaft. That amused me. I was born two days after Katie Holmes, which I already knew. I was born three days before Holly Madison of “The Girls Next Door” fame and Estella Warren of the new “Planet of the Apes” fame. NFL player Deuce McAllister was born a week after me. MLB player Chase Utley and boxer Manny Pacquiao were born three days before. MMA star BJ Penn was born a week prior. ---

Huh, looks like Joshua Jackson (“Fringe,” “Dawson’s Creek”) is one day older than I am. Of the actors who share my birthday (June 12), Scott Thompson of the Kids in the Hall is by far my favorite. I’m 19 years younger than he. ---
