This was in recognition of his career in film, television, theater, and voice acting over the 40 years in entertainment.
In his acceptance speech, in part, David said: “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 known for his roles in projects including Platoon, The Thing, Dead Presidents, Crash, Greenleaf, and countless animated series, documentaries, and video games.
Along with many other accolades throughout his career, David has won three Emmys for his voiceover performances 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,” said Ana Martinez, Producer, Hollywood Walk of Fame.
