He has been honored with his own star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame.  

“Tap numbers that are nothing short of spectacular… The Kings back him up on several close-set tap numbers that are nothing short of spectacular. These three guys are brilliant. I love Tommy and I loved his show.” — New York Post, Liz Smith
