Los Angeles:
Hollywood actor-filmmaker Vin Diesel, best known for starring in the Fast & Furious film franchise, has received the 2,504th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"I never thought it would be here in public on a corner, but I guess in some strange way, 30 years ago I made my living by dancing on corners like this with crowds smaller than this," Xinhua quoted Diesel as saying at a ceremony.
Diesel, 46, was joined by several of his friends, including Fast & Furious co-star Michelle Rodriguez.
A New York native, Diesel made his film debut in the 1990 drama Awakenings.
Five years later, his independent short Mult-Facial drew the attention of Saving Private Ryan helmsman Steven Spielberg, who created the role of Pvt. Adian Carparzo, a rifleman, in the Oscar-winning drama for the actor.
Diesel also starred in a couple of films including Boiler Room (2000), Pitch Black (2000), action thriller xXx (2002) and Fast & Furious series.
His next film Riddick is slated to hit theatres on September 6. He will also reprise his role in "Fast & Furious 7" which will be released in July 2014.
