Dual Milestone: Birthday And Mother’s Day
Actor and writer Todd Stashwick used Instagram to spotlight his mother this May, noting that Mother’s Day and her birthday fall within the same week. In a heartfelt caption, the 12 Monkeys star wrote, “What I love about the month of May is that I get to celebrate my mother twice. Because Mother’s Day and her birthday fall within a week of each other.” He added that combing through family pictures floods him “with the moments and feelings and joy that this woman has brought me and so many others.”
Flipping Through Family Albums
Stashwick isn’t shy about sharing snapshots from decades of family life. He describes choosing photos that best represent his gratitude and love, from candid mother-and-son moments to formal portraits. That same devotion showed up in a 2022 Mother’s Day post, when he highlighted his mom’s role as “protector, teacher, chauffeur, playmate and conscience,” praising her tenacity, patience and wisdom.
Stashwick’s Career And Close-knit Roots
Best known for his recurring role as Viktor Zsasz in Gotham and his work on Star Trek: Picard, Stashwick has balanced a busy on-screen career with off-camera devotion to family.

Through every project, his family remains a top priority.
Whether touring convention circuits or shooting in Vancouver, Stashwick says moments like these—honoring his mother—remind him where he comes from. His Instagram posts offer fans a glimpse of the personal side behind the roles and the green screens.
As the birthday candles are lit and Mother’s Day cards are sent, Stashwick’s dual celebration pays tribute to a woman who’s shaped his life and career. Here’s to many more May memories—and to mothers everywhere who inspire us year after year.
