Q: Is Chris Tucker not acting anymore? I
haven't seen him in ages.
A: While it's true that we haven't seen much of Chris
Tucker ("Rush Hour," 1998) lately, that's about to
change.
He plays a prominent role in the star-studded, true-
life drama "Air," streaming now on Prime Video —
his first role in quite some time.
If you had asked me just a few months ago, I might
have said that, yes, Chris Tucker had quit acting.
His last film or TV role came back in 2016 — a
supporting turn in the war drama "Billy Lynn's Long
Halftime Walk."
And the work had been sparse prior to that. Quite a
change of pace from his heyday in the 1990s and
early 2000s, when he was one of the most sought-af-
ter actors in Hollywood, thanks to the success of the
Rush Hour trilogy of buddy-cop blockbusters.
In fact, he's appeared in just three things since "Rush
Hour 3" in 2007.
It's worth noting that none of those things was
small-time. Along with the high-profile "Billy Lynn,"
directed by the highly decorated Ang Lee, Tucker's
other two projects were a role in the Oscar-nominat-
ed "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012), and his own
standup special on Netflix in 2015.
