Happy 47th Birthday, Keanu Reeves! What's His Finest Acting Moment?

Forty-seven years ago today, Keanu Charles Reeves was born to Patricia Bond and Samuel Reeves in Beirut, Lebanon. Growing up, Reeves enjoyed acting and hockey and in 1986, at the age of 22, Reeves combined his passions in the Rob Lowe hockey movie Youngblood. Twenty-seven years after his studio debut, Reeves has established himself as one of our favorite big-screen personalities. In honor of Keanu's birthday, let's hear what you consider his finest acting moment. Excellent!

No offense, Keanu, but we're going to automatically disqualify any role that involved an accent. We still love you though. Who can deny the greatness of your work in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, My Own Private Idaho, Speed and The Matrix? Personally, I think Keanu's best moment onscreen occurred in the late '80s in Parenthood.

Send Keanu your best wishes and tell us Keanu's finest performing feat below.
