William L. Petersen will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, next year. The CSI: Vegas star is definitely an icon of the new millenium, with his good looks and dead pan delivery. His work on the epic procedural series has led to a broad appeal, and certainly the right to his place on the world famous sidewalk.

The other recipients represent a motley crue, indeed, including the likes of Robert Downey Jr.; Hugh Jackman; William H. Macy; Cameron Diaz; Tim Burton; Kyra Sedgwick; John Stamos; Kenny “Baby Face” Edmonds; Dave Koz; Harry Shearer of Saturday Night Live, KCRW, and The Simpsons fame; musical artists The Miracles, Rush, Shakira, and, finally, The Village People.

Notably, legendary, 76-year-old chimpanzee actor, Cheeta, was once again left off the list.

Whether that means blackmailing a beautiful parolee, disobeying direct orders or hurtling the wrong way down a crowded freeway, he vows to take down a murderous counterfeiter (Dafoe) by any means necessary.
