(Hollywood) Danny DeVito, star of the hit TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,
a veteran of numerous television and films and an Emmy® and Golden Globe®
award winner, was honored today with his first-ever star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame, on the occasion of his 40th anniversary in show business and the launch
of Season 6 of the popular original FX series on Blu-ray and DVD on September
13.
DeVito is one of the entertainment industry's most versatile players, excelling
as actor, producer and director. He wrote, directed and produced several short
films in his early Hollywood years before emerging as a feature-length filmmaker.
Dark comedic themes characterize his trademark films, including "The Ratings
Game," "Throw Momma From the Train," "The War of the Roses,"
"Hoffa" and "Matilda."
DeVito is the principal of Jersey Film's 2nd Avenue, a predecessor company
of Jersey Films which has produced more than 20 motion pictures, including "Man
on the Moon," "Pulp Fiction," "Get Shorty," "Hoffa,"
and "Erin Brockovich" (which was nominated for an Academy Award).
Two films co-starring DeVito won the Academy Award for Best Picture ("One
Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Terms of Endearment"), but
it was the part of Louie De Palma on the television show "Taxi" that
propelled him to national prominence.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia features Charlie (Charlie Kelly),
Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Sweet Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and
Frank (Danny DeVito), five ne'er-do-wells who own and operate Paddy's Pub in
Philadelphia. Their constant scheming to get ahead by not-so-redeemable methods
usually lands them in a world of hurt, yet they never seem to learn from their
mistakes.
