Happy Birthday, Michael Urie!

Today is Michael Urie’s birthday.  The Ugly Betty star is 29.  And there can be no doubt, he’s having quite a year!

Along with working on filming Ugly Betty’s fourth season, Michael has been very busy with the hit off-Broadway play The Tempermentals.  If you are in New York, it looks like the show to see.  Many New York bigwigs and entertainment royalty have already come to see it.  If you are on Twitter, you can follow updates from the show (including notables in the audience at the show’s Twitter page.

On Ugly Betty, Urie really came into his own in season 3.  His character Marc alternated between being Betty’s main rival, and being an ally.  By the end of season 3, you got the feeling that deep down Marc actually likes Betty, although he’d never admit it.

Things I’m looking forward to in Ugly Betty season 4 out of Michael (and Marc) :  more scenes with Mark Indelicato, the return of Patti LuPone (please?), and seeing Urie sing in the musical episode.

Happy Birthday Michael!  Have a lot of fun today!
