LOS ANGELES -- The latest actor to play 007 is No. 2,099 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Pierce Brosnan, who plays James Bond in the upcoming Tomorrow Never Dies, received a star Wednesday before an adoring crowd.
Brosnan said he remembered strolling on the famed street as a tourist 16 years ago.
"You look at all the stars, the people. You never figure you're going to end up on the sidewalk with a star," he said. "This is very cool. But above anything else, it's an honor."
Brosnan, the fifth actor to play the suave British agent, also appeared in the non-Bond movie Dante's Peak earlier this year and starred in NBC's Remington Steele TV series from 1982-1987.
The man who plays 007 has a new number to his name. Pierce Brosnan got the 2,099th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday. Desmond Llewellyn -- code-named "Q" -- was on hand for the ceremony. Their new movie, Tomorrow Never Dies, opens December 19.
He may play Agent 007 in Tomorrow Never Dies, but on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in L.A., Pierce Brosnan is No. 2,099. The actor got his star this week before an adoring crowd that included Tomorrow co-star Michelle Yeoh.
Brosnan said he remembered strolling on the famed street as a tourist 16 years ago. ``You look at all the stars, the people. You never figure you're going to end up on the sidewalk with a star,'' he said. ``This is very cool.''
James Bond incumbent Pierce Brosnan does the Hollywood Walk of fame thing today (Dec. 3) in Hollywood. Brosnan is being honored just in time for (coinky-dink) the release of Tomorrow Never Dies.
