In the live theater category, Patti LuPone, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. and Angelica Vale will be honored. Richard Blade is the single radio honoree, and Michael Strahan will be recognized for sports entertainment.

Hong, with 672 acting credits since beginning his Hollywood career in the early 1950s, is being honored after fellow actor Daniel Dae Kim launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Hong's nomination process.

"It's time James Hong was honored in the way he deserves, and it's time to show him how much he - and all the actors of color of earlier generations - have done to pave the way for us today," Kim wrote at the time.

Reacting to Hong's induction to the Walk of Fame on Thursday, Kim wrote on Twitter that hearing the news brought him "immense joy."

Also on Thursday, some of the Class of 2022 reacted to being chosen for a star on the Walk of Fame. Strahan tweeted that he was "all smiles" after finding out the news.

"To everyone out there, don't let anyone limit what you can achieve," he wrote.

Thompson wrote on Instagram that he was "completely humbled" by the news, giving a shoutout to "some faves" of his, including Robinson Peete, King, Allen and Strahan.

Ashanti also reacted to her induction, saying in a video message on social media that she is "so humbled and honored and excited," adding that it's "so crazy how God's timing works," since her star ceremony will fall on the same year as the 20th anniversary of her debut album.
