Renowned actor Keith David received the 2,847th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on June 4.
This star can be found at 6225 Hollywood Boulevard.
David was awarded his star in the Motion Pictures category during a ceremony hosted by actress Ryan Bathe, coinciding with his 70th birthday.
This honor acknowledges his extensive contributions to film, television, theater, and voice work spanning over four decades in the industry.
In part of his acceptance address, David stated: “I started out as a singer, then I wanted to be a preacher, and I wanted to be a lawyer and a bank president… Then I discovered I could be an actor and be all those things.”
David is celebrated for his performances in films such as Platoon, The Thing, Dead Presidents, Crash, Greenleaf, along with numerous animated shows, documentaries, and video games.
In addition to a plethora of other awards during his career, David has earned three Emmys for his voiceover roles in Jackie Robinson, The War, and Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson.
“Keith David has brought unforgettable characters to life throughout his extraordinary career, and it feels especially fitting that his Hollywood Walk of Fame star sits beside Nat King Cole’s — an artist he once portrayed with such grace and reverence. It’s a beautiful full-circle moment honoring two legendary talents,” remarked Ana Martinez, Producer, Hollywood Walk of Fame.
