Gossip Girl's Connor Paolo turns 18 today! The star, who has also appeared on Law and Order and One Life to Live, is one of the youngest of the cast (second only to Taylor Momsen). And he's been keeping busy when not filming scenes for GG -- he has two movies in the works for 2008, Camp Hope and Favorite Son.

We haven't seen too much of Connor lately in the rounds of Gossip Girl gossip, but we hope we get to see more of his character -- Eric van der Woodsen is the voice of wisdom on this show. His unabashed sweetness brings out the best in everyone, even Chuck and Jenny. And we love seeing him interact with Serena when they discuss matters of the heart.

Happy birthday, Connor -- we hope you have a wonderful day! Post your birthday wishes for Connor here.

Coming soon, a birthday tribute to Michael Rosenbaum, who's also celebrating today!
