Whitaker Gets Star On Walk Of Fame
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Forest Whitaker snagged Oscar, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild trophies this year for his role as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland.
He cemented his winning streak on Monday with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"The honor represents where I came from, and where I am going and hopefully where I am at right now," said the 45-year-old actor-director at the ceremony for the 2,335th star.
The ceremony also marked this week's DVD release of The Last King of Scotland, in which Whitaker portrays the dictator under whose reign thousands of people were killed in the 1970s.
You represent us well big fella. We're headed to Walmart to grab that flick right now.
Yeah, I said Walmart - Got a problem with that?
