Seeing our favorite Latino stars excel in the world of entertainment and in Hollywood fills us with so much pride and hope. Watching one of our own make it in the field gives us a sense that anything is possible. The number of Latino celebrities who have received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame gets longer and longer every year, and it's so exciting.
The ceremonies are such special moments in the entertainers' lives and careers, and they are usually glowing with joy.

The pics from his ceremony will give you chills! That type of representation is so important for young Latinos whose dreams are to make it in Hollywood because these stars show that anything is possible.
