Actor Dennis Quaid, best known for his roles in The Big Easy and Far From Heaven, is the latest person to receive a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The 51-year-old, who has also appeared in The Parent Trap and Wyatt Earp, has enjoyed a long career in the film industry, appearing in more than 40 films over 30 years.

Speaking at the ceremony, Quaid quipped: "I remember when this town was a beanfield. I've been here 125 years. I started with Charlie Chaplin."

He will soon be seen alongside Rene Russo in a new movie, Yours, Mine And Ours, which is a remake of the 1968 comedy with Henry Fonda.
