For nearly three decades, Austrian-born Christoph Waltz was a jobbing actor in Europe. He finally came to Hollywood in 2009, and in the next four years he won two Oscars.

He will receive his star on the storied Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday. Not bad for a boy from Vienna. But despite his evident success, the 58-year-old insists life is no simpler now he's on the Tinseltown A-list.

"This is a fight ... life isn't easier now with two Oscars," he says.
