Cumming’s career has included major achievements on stage and screen. He won a Tony Award for his performance in Cabaret and earned Emmy Awards for roles including his work on The Good Wife. His film credits range from independent projects to large studio productions such as GoldenEye and X2: X-Men United.

More recently, he has gained renewed attention as the host and executive producer of Peacock’s reality series The Traitors, a role that has introduced him to a new audience and highlighted his distinctive style and timing. Observers noted that the Walk of Fame honour arrives while Cumming remains actively involved in shaping contemporary television and performance culture, rather than as a retrospective tribute.
