Adam Sandler Receives Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Comedic actor Adam Sandler was honored for his incredibly successful career in entertainment on Tuesday. The former "Saturday Night Live" star received the two-thousandth-431st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a ceremony outside the W Hollywood Hotel. An appreciative Sandler spoke during the festivities, telling those in attendance, quote, "This is a big deal. I feel honored and can't believe this has happened in my life." Joining Sandler at the ceremony was actor Henry Winkler, who starred alongside the comedian in the 1998 film "The Waterboy." Sandler's "Grown Ups" co-star Kevin James was also present.

Adam Sandler began his acting career in 1987 with a role on "The Cosby Show." He would go on to star in such comedies as "Happy Gilmore," "Billy Madison," "50 First Dates," "Big Daddy," "Anger Management," and "The Wedding Singer." Sandler will be back in theaters later this month when he stars alongside Jennifer Aniston in "Just Go With It." The film arrives on February 11th.
