The handsome humanitarian is best known for acting like an officer, gentleman or the occasional john but he's also an accomplished pianist and hotelier.

Richard Gere, born on August 31, 1949 studied at the University of Massachusetts, became a pop musician, and went on to gain extensive experience in the theatre. The legendary actor is an extraordinary man whose accomplishments in Hollywood are equaled by his humanitarian achievements.

The Pretty Women star has acted in numerous films which include , American Gigolo, An Officer and A Gentleman, Chicago, Shall We Dance?, Autumn in New York and The Hunting Party. The actor once again might see box-office success with new film "Arbitrage".

From every Pretty Woman out there, Friday Moviez wishes Richard Gere all the very best on his big day! Happy birthday, Richard Gere!
