Is Chris Tucker the biggest underachiever in the history of acting?

[R=G]

He's a good supporting actor but I don't think he carries a movie by himself at any point of his career. nikka admitted he wouldn't even read scripts and just ad-libbed most of his lines. I think he achieved exactly what he was supposed to all things considered

Definitely carried Money Talks, Rush Hour 1-2.

If he’s happy in life and has peace, then no he didn’t.


He’s an entertainer, but he’s not obligated to entertain strangers the way they want him to. Plenty of actors have walked away at early ages just for various reasons.

Exactly. This thread full of nikkas mad he didn’t dedicate his life to what they wanted.

I hope Chris is on his way back

he needs to be the next Brendan Fraser...the 90s star that we just decide as a populous to support because we always low key liked them

I was really glad to see him in AIR

Under achiever?

He helped created a superstar buddy franchise and cashed out.

Would have liked to see him do serious roles, I guess dead presidents is the closest we'll get

I think comedy with serious moments is his sweet spot.

I would love for Chris to make a nice comeback

Watching him in "Air" was such a reward for anyone that grew up on his movies. He has never been very prolific, and may not like the whole lifestyle or the whole being a working actor.

Friday
Dead Presidents
Rush Hour, in 1998, 2001, and 2007, probably the money from that has set him up for life
Money Talks

was there much else I am forgetting?

did forget Jackie Brown but that was such a small role, a hilarious one for sure, but less than 6 minutes

Something like Fargo or Parasite would be interesting. A film with him being the lead in a QT film would also be dope

Well I'm just now learning Chris Tucker and Michael Clark Duncan were in the California Love video
