"I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words. "
Tucker's first major movie role was alongside rapper Ice Cube in the 1995 cult favorite Friday. He also starred with Charlie Sheen in 1997 movie Money Talks and alongside Bruce Willis inThe Fifth Element in the same year.
He later starred in the 1998 martial arts action comedy Rush Hour and its sequel, Rush Hour 2, in which he played James Carter, an abrasive, wise-cracking detective. Realizing the success of the first Rush Hour film, Tucker held out from studio bosses until they paid his price tag of $20 million for Rush Hour 2, which also became an enormous success. Co-star Jackie Chan received $15 million and gross points. Tucker also appeared in Michael Jackson's video "You Rock My World" (2001).
In 2005, Tucker participated in African American Lives, a PBS program hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. where his roots were traced back to a tribe living in Angola. Tucker would also travel to Angola, the birthplace of his ancestors with Gates.
On April 19, 2005, Tucker was arrested by Georgia State Troopers in McDuffie County for reckless driving and fleeing to elude after he did not pull over right away. Sheriffs claimed he was driving 109 mph in his 2005 Bentley. Tucker claimed he was in a hurry because he was late for church. Currently, Tucker continues to perform stand-up comedy.
