Happy birthday, Lady Deathstrike Kelly Hu!

Beautiful and badass actress Kelly Hu, born February 13, 1968 in Honolulu, Hawai'i, starred in X2: X-Men United as super-villain Lady Deathstrike.  She's also appeared in the DC Universe as White Tiger in Arrow, the series about the Green Arrow.  

She's performed on a number of my other favorite shows:  Warehouse 13, The Orville, and NCIS: New Orleans. She has provided voices for two of the Scooby-Doo movies! 

In 1985, Hu was the first Asian-American to be crowned Miss Teen USA.  She was crowned Miss Hawai'i in 1993 and finished in the Top 6 at the Miss USA pageant. 

Happy birthday, Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming!

Versatile actor Alan Cumming, born January 27, 1965 in Perthshire, Scotland, has won numerous awards for his acting including two Tony awards. He has been nominated numerous times for his work on The Good Wife, but my favorite performance of his will always be as Nightcrawler in X-2: X-Men United.  He declined appearing in any of the sequels because he didn't want to go through the entire makeup sessions again.  

Fair enough.

Cumming has come out and has appeared in several gay movies and won a TLC Releasing Award for Best Lead Actor in a Gay Movie.

Happy birthday, Colossus!
