Chris Tucker

Some know Chris Tucker from Def Comedy Jam in the 1990s. Others have seen him in movies like Money Talks and The Fifth Element. Most, however, know the Atlanta native as Detective James Carter in the Rush Hour film series, which earned him the title of highest paid actor in 2006 with a negotiated salary of $25 million. In addition to being a comedian and actor, Tucker is an active humanitarian. In 2006 he founded the Chris Tucker Foundation, an organization dedicated to impacting youth. The actor’s latest project is titled Silver Linings Playbook and stars Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, and Julia Stiles. This film is set to be released November of this year. Tucker is currently on the “Guess Who’s Back?” tour and is set to make an appearance at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio this week.
