Happy birthday to Smallville's Aaron Ashmore, the man behind our favorite gee-whiz photographer, Jimmy Olsen. Aaron turns 29 today.

Aaron has had a long acting career for such a young guy. He and his identical twin, Shawn, started acting in commercials when they were young, and they've never looked back. Since making his feature film debut in 1991, he's appeared on great shows like The West Wing and Veronica Mars. Then came the role of Jimmy Olsen, which Aaron jumped at.

He's kept busy in his downtime, too, appearing with Supernatural's Jared Padalecki in the straight-to-video holiday film The Christmas Cottage. Plus, he's working on two movies -- Dead End, a teens-in-peril thriller costarring Haley Duff and Privileged’s Lucy Hale, and The Thaw, and eco-thriller about an ancient parasite revealed by the melting polar ice.

Jimmy Olsen hasn't been kicking back, either. Last season, he got to put on the James Bond gear and play superspy to protect Chloe. He kicked off this season when Chloe accepted his marriage proposal. We have a feeling things won't go smoothly for the couple -- Chloe's developing new powers, and she's also developing an attraction to Davis Bloome. We can't wait to find out what happens!
