A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be unveiled Friday honoring Ice-T, one day after the 65th birthday of the gangsta rap pioneer-turned-actor.
Ice-T's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" castmate Mariska Hargitay and the series' creator Dick Wolf and fellow legendary rapper Chuck D are set to join him in speaking at the 11:30 a.m. ceremony at 7065 Hollywood Blvd., between La Brea and Sycamore avenues.
Ice-T became interested in hip-hop music during his two years in the U.S. Army. Following his discharge in 1979, he initially sought to be a DJ, adopting the stage name Ice-T as a tribute to Iceberg Slim. However, he received more attention for his rapping, which led him to pursue a career as a rapper.
Body Count's self-titled 1992 debut album included the single "Cop Killer," which drew criticism from elected officials, the National Rifle Association and various police advocacy groups. Ice-T's first acting credit came in 1984, when the producers of "Breakin"' asked him to rap in the movie. "Ice is the consummate professional, his work ethic is unimpeachable and he has grown exponentially as an actor. Casting Ice as Fin was one of my best moves as a producer."
