Matthew Fox, aka Dr. Jack Shephard on Lost, celebrates his 43rd birthday today. In his next leap to the big screen, Fox will turn comic book superhero and play the title character of next year's Billy Smoke. Former child actor and Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley turns 48. We talked with him earlier this year when he was starring in Watchmen, and Haley will be filling Robert Englund's clawed glove as the next Freddy Krueger in a remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, out next year. Country star Jamey Johnson, who hit gold with his recent hit In Color and was nominated for the CMT USA WEEKEND Breakthrough Video of the Year award this year, turns 34. Jane Lynch, who will be a series regular on Fox's Glee this fall, is 49, and Missy Gold, whom you may remember as little Katie on the '80s sitcom Benson, is now 39.
