Ken Jeong receives Hollywood Walk of Fame star: "I'm not the funniest guy in the world, I'm not the most talented guy … But I'm the most grateful guy."

Ken Jeong received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday.

Jeong, who did his residency at UCLA and worked as a physician at Kaiser Permanente for several years before starting his film and TV career, said his first acting class at Duke University, where he received his undergraduate degree, sparked the fire in his heart. The ceremony took place on Vine Street near Hollywood Boulevard as his 95-year-old father, whom Jeong called his role model, and his mother joined him from North Carolina. Jeong's other movie credits include “Crazy Rich Asians,'' “My Spy,'' “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” “The Duff,'' “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" and "Couples Retreat.''
