The 10 of Hearts coordinate

Richard Griffiths's birthday maps to the 10 of Hearts (The Community Heart). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Tony Award and not a verdict on Richard Griffiths. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You make room for a lot of people and still keep a self inside the room.
