Eugene Levy’s Hamilton roots were at the forefront of mind as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“Getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is about as far from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada as you can get,” the Schitt’s Creek actor and comedian, 77, said Friday as he was given his award.
“My hometown, Hamilton, was a big steel town when I was growing up, but nobody went into the entertainment business.
“Fifty-plus years working in comedy, playing comedy characters — how rewarding was that? A lifespan making people laugh,” the actor said.
Levy was born and raised in Hamilton.<!–
