Happy birthday, Iceman actor Shawn Ashmore!

Shawn Ashmore, born October 7, 1979 in British Columbia, Canada, is probably best known for his portrayal of Bobby Drake/Iceman in four of the X-Men movies: X-Men, X2, X-Men: Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.  Shawn won an MTV Movie Award for his performance in X2.  

He is one minute younger than his twin brother Aaron who is also an actor.  

Happy birthday, Colossus!

Buff and beautiful Daniel Cudmore, born January 20, 1981 British Columbia, Canada, is best known for his role as Peter Rasputin or Colossus in X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.  According to imdb.com, he appeared in a deleted scene in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.  

He has appeared in DC Comics television shows Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.  He will appear later this year in the television series Superman and Lois.

Happy birthday, Rogue!

Anna Pacquin, born July 24, 1982 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, has had a stellar career from a young age, but my favorite role of hers is Rogue, from the X-Men movies.  She won an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for The Piano when she was just eleven years old.  She has also received numerous awards for her role in True Blood.

This is apparently a clip from X-Men: Days of Future Past that was cut from the final version.
