One of the hopeful dancers in _A Chorus Line_ was born. Sheila, I think. (I believe it was also the playwright’s birthday.)

I can’t find any fictional events that occurred on my birthday.
In real life, the day I was born is the same day that Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus.

Nero Wolfe’s sidekick (I was a bit at a loss for a descriptor there) Archie Goodwin was born on my birthday, October 23. Can’t think of anyone I’d rather share a slice of birthday cake with.
(Sorry for ending with “with” there.)

“Pfui, Archie. You knew you were going to say it. If you are going to have an affectation, you ought to acknowledge it, not smother it under a basket.”

So if my public school math is correct, I was born on the day of the destruction of the One Ring (March 25th). Nifty.

Nothing of note. It was mentioned in the crappy JCVD movie _TimeCop_ as one of the dates they time-travelled to. That’s seriously the only time I have ever seen my birthday appear in fiction.

Not me but my best friend is the exact same age as Spongebob (according to SB’s boating license he got in one episode)
I don’t have any although I’d love to see a list of fictional things that happened on (this date) to see

In **The Last Picture Show** the teacher writes that day’s date on the board - which was not only my birthday but my exact birthday - same year.
