John Stamos, best known for his role as "Uncle Jesse" on Full House, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. Stamos celebrates over 25 years in the entertainment business as an actor, musician and Broadway star. He is currently starring on Broadway as "Albert Peterson", the role made famous by Dick Van Dyke, in Bye Bye Birdie. Stamos' star is located right next to Dick Van Dyke's star at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard.

Stamos started his acting career over 25 years ago on General Hospital playing the role of "Blackie." Anthony Geary, who plays the legendary "Luke Spencer" on General Hospital, came out to support his former castmate at the ceremony. Speakers at the star unveiling ceremony were Garry Marshall, producer of TV sitcoms like Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley; Bob Saget, Stamos' co-star on Full House; and Jack Klugman, star of TV's The Odd Couple.

John's mother and sisters were in attendance as he dedicated the star to his father who died in 2001. Stamos graciously thanked all of his "heroes" for coming out to support him at the ceremony including members of The Beach Boys and Jack Klugman, who he called "one of the greatest actors of our generation." Castmates from Stamos' former TV series including ER and Full House were also in attendance.
