Milo Ventimiglia has received his star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The โ€˜This Is Usโ€™ actorโ€™s star was placed next to Mandy Mooreโ€™s at 6562 Hollywood Blvd, who plays his on-screen wife in the hit US drama.

Milo was joined by his co-star Jon Huertas and โ€˜Gilmore Girlsโ€™ creator Amy Sherman-Palladino as he was bestowed with the honour.

The star made his acting debut on โ€˜The Fresh Prince of Bel-Airโ€™ in 1995.

In 2001, the 44-year-old star landed his breakthrough role as Jess Mariano on โ€˜Gilmore Girlsโ€™.

He was further propelled into the spotlight as Peter Petrelli in the superhero drama โ€˜Heroesโ€™, before going on to play Jack Pearson on โ€˜This Is Usโ€™ in 2016, for which he received the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series prize twice.

On the big screen, Milo landed his breakthrough movie role as Rocky Balboaโ€™s son in the sixth instalment of the โ€˜Rockyโ€™ franchise, 2006โ€™s โ€˜Rocky Balboaโ€™, a role he reprised for 2018โ€™s โ€˜Creed IIโ€™.

Speaking during the livestreamed ceremony, Milo dedicated his star to his colleagues.

He said: โ€œThis star represents a large group of people.

โ€œIt may say Milo Ventimiglia, but it is actually made up of 26 years of names both in front of and behind the camera professionally and personally.โ€

Prior to the unveiling, Milo insisted that while heโ€™s had โ€œgood fortuneโ€ during his 26 years in the acting business, heโ€™s always โ€œlooking forwardโ€ to whatโ€™s next.

He told Variety: โ€œIt more feels like, โ€˜OK kid, youโ€™ve done good for last 26 years, what do you got for the next 26?โ€™

โ€œI know some people, when theyโ€™re walking away and moving on from those iconic roles that they play, they really try hard to get away from them.

โ€œI think Iโ€™m just looking forward to whatโ€™s coming my way and take each man that Iโ€™ll be playing as an individual and grow them and build them and create them just like I did with Jack or Jess [Mariano on โ€˜Gilmore Girlsโ€™] or Peter [Petrelli on โ€˜Heroesโ€™] or any of the other roles that Iโ€™ve played for 26 years on TV.

โ€œIโ€™ve had a very fortunate career.โ€
