Just got finished watching the Rush Hour movie they had on tv and at the end of it I asked myself what is up with Chris Tucker? What has this guy done before the rush hour trilogy besides FRIDAY. I couldnt think of anything for a while but then remembered he was in Money Talks and Dead Presidents. Is something wrong with him or is he just lazy? 2001 he did rush hour 2. 2007 he does rush hour 3. Thats a 6 year hiatus! I mean hes a funny comedian and not goin to say hes the funniest but im sure enough people out there think hes funny to the extent where it shouldnt be hard for him to find a film to be in. 1998-2007 its been all rush hour movies. Thats basically a decade playing the same role! There are actors who make 2 movies in a single year. He needs to fire his agent immediately. Hes banking off Jackie Chan and thats cool but I just see an actor who isnt utilizing his opportunity. Theres a lot more money to be made out there. Seriously what was he doing those 6 years?
Funny you mention him, I was just reading up on Rush Hour 3 the other day.
Tucker wants control of the final cut. Which Jackie Chan isnt too happy about. CT is getting 20 million for the film, a salary commanded by very few actors who have all worked very hard to get to that point. But Chris has been in such few films.

The Rush Hour franchise is such a huge hit, CT can get away with some of his demands. Try casting him for something else he would be lucky to get anything near half that.

And thats the entire point! hes not trying but he still has the nerve to demand "final editing rights and the final look at the movie and so on" thats a joke. Takes dedication in show biz to make demands like this. Hes not an A class type star 20 mil is definitely more than he deserves. Should just take it and shut up.
I Remember when I first saw him on Def Comedy Jam back in 1992..
He was the Best on there and I thought he would be the Next Best Comic
He has done a lot of TV talk shows, etc.
Here is a List of his movies............and acting

Was watching Regis & Kelly this morning (yes i'm a poker playing loser who sits at home watching tv) and Tucker said he's been travelling and doing humanitarian work (with Clinton and Bono). I guess you can't rag on the guy too much for that. He does a pretty funny Clinton impersonation too.
