British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Receiving his star on Friday, Gervais said he was "humbled" and that his success was a mix of "luck, persistence, and a little bit of pushing against the tide". "Finally, a star that will give snarky commentary every time someone walks by… I always knew we needed a comedian's touch on our famed sidewalk," said Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez. Gervais is well known for creating and starring in the BBC Two comedy The Office and, more recently, the comedy drama After Life on Netflix. His star is the 2,813th dedication at the Los Angeles landmark. This video has been removed for rights reasons.
