Bradley Whitford received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on September 30, with The West Wing co-stars Dulé Hill and Martin Sheen joining him for the ceremony.

Speaking at the ceremony, Hill remembered an early job offer from Whitford:

I was looking for a messenger job. And you had the nerve to offer me a bigger and better job.

Whitford played White House aide Josh Lyman on The West Wing. Hill and Sheen were both guest speakers at the celebration, hosted by Dayna Devon.
