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

[HipHopStan]

His $25 million dollar asking price probably hurt him too. Producers looking at him like "

Are you Denzel Washington or Will Smith?"

Depends. His goal was to make money and act. Maybe he's wasn't after all the glory. I'd consider Colin Ferrell and Zac Efron (he's trending there) bigger "busts" per se.

Colin Farrell

was having a conversation about him yesterday talking about the lobster. We went to his IMDB and realized he never had a Big hit.

Were people expecting Colin to become the next Tom Cruise?

He was supposed to be close to that, at least +A open every movie at 25 million plus type guy. He came out and then by 2010 he had faded into the background.

He didn't want to. It's been said a thousand times he did what he wanted. He succeded in his eyes so that's that.

Thanks

He still didnt do what he could. Whether he wanted to or not

 

[LinusCaldwell]

No

 

[beenz]

on top of him ONLY doing rush hour movies, when he finally gets back into a critically acclaimed movie after a LONG hiatus (silver linings playbook), he doesn't strike while the iron's hot and get in more films really.

 

[Kaypain]

Underachieved in what?

fukk Hollywood

 

[getmoney310cpt]

I don't think you realize how much money that rush hour run made

Apparently his "form of comedy" isn't liked by many others statistically. People love his standups though...

If you don't think he's c00ning; playing the black inept sidekick, and or the bytchboy to the main character, you sir have on ruby tinted shades on.

He's not liked by others statistically but he's breaking all kinds of records for comedians? Lol.

 

[MJ Truth]

You can still c00n and have black actors be part of your entire cast...Tyler Perry does it just fine. But since you need help;

DrillBit Taylor
Little Fockers - Plays a nurse.
Get Hard
Krod Mandoon

How is Tyler Perry c00ning? You idiots just apply these false definitions to whoever you dislike.

Chris Tucker screaming and buggin his eyes out wasnt trying too hard,but Epps is?his constant Michael Jackson impersonations

Epps is naturlly funnier than Chris,Chris just had a naturally funnier voice and delivery....once he got too old to live off that voice as a grown man,it was over

Epps specials aren't that great imo.. I used to hit a lot of comedy clubs here in LA back in the day and if Mike Epps was in the house he would do some impromptu sh*t right on the spot and he would absolutely bring down the house and and murder sh*t so bad you didn't even want to hear anyone else go on after him. Seen this happen on about 4-5 different occasions. But he never had that type of performance on one of his specials. Nothing against Epps cause I root for him to do well but Tucker is more complete from acting, stand up, and body of work imo. And yeah Chris Tucker wasted some prime years, especially when he was hot. But he's not that big of a disappointment. Dave Chappelle is the biggest disappointment imo
