LOS ANGELES (AP) _ George Lopez has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Lopez, star of ABC's ``George Lopez,'' was joined by his wife, Ann, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the ceremony Wednesday.

``I remember being 15, and walking up and down (the Walk of Fame) and dreaming about what I wanted to do and never thinking it was going to be done,'' the 44-year-old actor-comedian told fans.

Ann, who donated a kidney to Lopez last spring, cited her husband's rough upbringing in Los Angeles, saying he ``is that little blade of grass that got through the cracks and got out.''

Lopez started off as a standup comic before heading up his own sitcom, now in its fifth season.
