After nearly 25 years in showbusiness, actor John Stamos will receive the 2,393 star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Monday.
Stamos’ career began with recurring role on the hit soap General Hospital in 1984. He later joined one of the most iconic family television programs in history playing “Uncle Jesse” on the popular ABC series Full House. Television producer and movie director Garry Marshall and John’s Full House co-star Bob Saget will be among those honoring the actor in a speaking ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard this afternoon.
