Happy Birthday, Tony Shalhoub!
Name: Anthony Marcus Shalhoub
Birthdate: October 9, 1953
Most Famous For: Adrian Monk, obsessive-compulsive detective on USA Network's Monk; the voice of Luigi in the movie Cars
Not gonna lie, I loves me some Tony Shalhoub. Monk is one of my favorite shows and I was so happy to see that Tony was voicing the little yellow Fiat with the passion for Ferraris.
Tony has been nominated for nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series six times in a row from 2003-2008. He won in 2003, 2005, and 2006. He has also won a Golden Globe in 2003 and a SAG Award in 2004 and 2005. Seriously, if you have never watched Monk, it is absolute must-see television, much better than some of the crap that passes for TV shows on the Big Four. And Monk is so going to end up with Natalie.
Plus, I'm OCD too, and my kids love to pick out stuff that Monk does and say, "Mom, that's you!"
