My Take
Lee Majors is one of those guys who basically defined what a TV action hero looked like for an entire generation of American viewers. I grew up knowing him as the Six Million Dollar Man — that slow-motion running, the bionic sound effect, the absolute confidence that Steve Austin could handle anything — and honestly, that show was appointment television in the 1970s in a way that's hard to explain now. Then he came back with The Fall Guy in the 1980s and proved it wasn't a fluke; the man had genuine, durable screen presence that kept audiences coming back. He started out in Westerns on The Big Valley, so he covered the full range of classic American TV genres. A Hollywood Walk of Fame star feels like the right reward for someone who gave that much of himself to the small screen over so many decades.
