There is nothing tranquil about comedian/actor
Chris Tucker. A limber, wiry fellow with a high-pitched voice and a
delivery as fast as a mosquito's wing beats, he seems energy incarnate.
In regard to his acting, some have hailed him the next Eddie Murphy;
indeed, Murphy was one of Tucker's icons while growing up.
Tucker made his debut at a local comedy club. Because he was underage,
Tucker had to sneak in and then do some real fast talking to be allowed
to perform. He succeeded and his routine garnered a tremendous response.
More local successes followed and this emboldened the then 19-year-old
Tucker to try his luck in Los Angeles. Soon after arriving on the West
Coast, Tucker had established himself in the major comedy clubs and,
after appearing on HBO's Def Comedy Jam found himself a bona fide rising
star.
Tucker made his film debut with a small but memorable role in "House
Party 3" (1994). The following year, Tucker appeared in F. Gary
Gray's crazy comedy "Friday", playing Smokey, a lazy pot-smoking
drug dealer who could be quite rich if only he'd stop using the merchandise
himself. Tucker's hilarious improvisation during filming helped to make
the film a sleeper hit. In his next film, "Dead Presidents",
directed by brothers Allen Hughes and Albert Hughes, Tucker hinted at
some real talent as a dramatic actor. In regard to movies, 1997 proved
a very good year for Tucker who was given his first showcase film in
the action comedy "Money Talks", which he executively produced.
He also had a small but memorable role in Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie
Brown" and played a hyper-manic intergalactic DJ in Luc Besson's
"The Fifth Element". In 1998, Tucker had his second starring
role, working opposite international action superstar Jackie Chan in
the action-packed comedy "Rush Hour" and again 2002 with "Rush
Hour 2". While his movie career continues its rapid ascent, Tucker
remains passionate about performing live and still appears in comedy
clubs and other venues.
