"No Time to Die" marks Craig's fifth and final
outing as the suave British secret agent, ending a role that has
spanned 15 years.
The actor's pink and terrazzo star, the 2,704th on the Walk of
Fame at the appropriately numbered 7007 Hollywood Boulevard, was
placed next to that of the late Roger Moore, who played Bond in
seven movies from 1973 to 1985.
"It's an absolute honor to be walked all over in Hollywood,"
said Craig. "Me being on this pavement surrounded by all of
these legends makes me a very, very, very happy man."
Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, along
with Rami Malek who plays villain Safin in "No Time to Die,"
were on hand for the dedication ceremony.
Malek called Craig, 53, "old school and classy," adding, "I
can't wait to see where (your career) takes you next."
After three delays because of the coronavirus pandemic "No Time
to Die" took in a bumper $121 million at the box office on its
opening weekend in Britain and international movie theaters.
Craig's next act will be playing Shakespeare's Macbeth on
Broadway next March.
