ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
He's already won two Oscars and numerous other accolades, but now Christoph Waltz has the ultimate film industry status symbol - a permanent star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Austrian actor was on hand on Monday (December 01) to receive the 2,536th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, along with Quentin Tarantino, who directed Waltz in his two performances that earned him Oscars for best supporting actor, as well as Samuel L. Jackson, a popular Tarantino actor and co-star of Waltz. Speaking to the gathered crowd of media and fans, Waltz said that he owed his success in Hollywood to Tarantino. 2014 has been a busy year for Waltz: he currently stars in the revenge-comedy flick "Horrible Bosses 2" and will co-star alongside Amy Adams in the upcoming biopic "Big Eyes," about artist Margaret Keane. "Big Eyes" will be released on December 25.
