The Romanian version of the Walk of Fame was opened in collaboration with Metropolis Theatre and the Tourism Association of Bucharest. The first star in the project was dedicated to Romanian actor Florin Piersic.

In 2004, at the third edition of the Transylvania International Film Festival (TIFF), he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of Excellence. The same year, Rebengiuc received “the best actor in 2004” award from Romanian critics for his starring role in “Niki Ardelean, reserve colonel” by Lucian Pintilie.
