Lou Diamond Phillips has turned 53 just in time to begin production for Longmire this season.

Cady In For Trouble On 'Longmire' This Season? 

On Monday the actor, who continues to play Henry on the A&E-turned-Netflix series, thanked fans and Twitter followers for the kind birthday wishes which have poured in.

Is Netflix The Perfect Home For 'Longmire'? 

Phillips reposted a number of tweets from fans commemorating some of his most iconic roles over the last few decades, but for Phillips it was his young daughter, Indigo, who summed the birthday up best.

The actor will have just enough time to celebrate and relax with his family over the next two weeks before production for Longmire's new season begins in March.

The series has had something of a rollercoaster year. In 2014 A&E canceled the crime drama following its major season 3 finale cliffhanger. The program then went without a home for months before Netflix stepped in and saved the series in November. All the while fans remained dedicated to the show, launching social media campaigns to keep the crime drama alive.

Longmire will likely return for a fourth season on Netflix during the later half of 2015.
