The Hollywood Walk of Fame will award a posthumous star to Fast & Furious' Paul Walker in 2023 along with several other big names in the entertainment industry. As one of the top tourist attractions in the city, Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame is an internationally recognized historic landmark. The first stars were inducted into the Walk of Fame in 1960, and around 24 induction ceremonies are held each year to honor stars for their contributions to the arts.

Walker's most recognized contribution to the film industry was his role in the Fast & Furious franchise. Walker first appeared in the franchise as Dominic Toretto's (Vin Diesel) second in command Brian in The Fast and the Furious, later reprising the role in many of the franchise's subsequent films before his death in 2013. The Fast & Furious franchise continued after Walker's death to produce three more films so far, with the most recent entry, F9, releasing in 2021. An upcoming tenth film, Fast X, is currently being filmed and is set to be released next year.
