      "Hollyweird"?? brothers and sister, can you pay attention to how simple you sound, Chris Tucker wasn't into sleezy films, Rush Hour made him a lot of money, that franchise has enough money to make you turn down whack scripts forever!

      That's not only what he intended to say. He's already been exposed to Hollywood and seen the rituals that high paying actors have to go through. For example, one ritual requires for high paying actors to wear a dress in at least 1 film their portrayed in. You remember Kevin Hart wore a dress on SNL, this was not optional. He had to wear a dress in order to get more movie roles and be more famous. Remember Martin, he played Shinanay and wore a female outfit. After that he got more movie roles. Remember Jamie Foxx played Wanda in Living Color and wore a dress, because he wore a dress as Wanda they gave him his own show, Jamie Foxx show. Also, Chris Rock wore a dress in living color. And sadly, Chris Tucker also wore a dress in the 5th element. After that he slowly wised up and started to turn down everything the smart way because he wanted to stick around longer. He made over 50 million of all movies but downsized to 5 million. After being born again he spent his wealth on charities probably because of his faith.

    After seeing Dead Presidents, I was very surprised we didn't see him in more dramatic roles. Brother in arms of mine suffers with PTSD and Tucker's portrayal of a vet dealing with it was damn near a mirror of my friend's experience.

    No doubt people will love to see Chris back on the screen. I know for me personally. I can really respect his reasons for not being in every movie offered to him. He’s among the few who won’t allow themselves to be pigeon holed into whatever Hollywood wants him to be. I wish more people were like Chris. Money isn’t everything to some people. I wish I knew what it felt like to have millions offered to me and turn millions down. I’m glad he found happiness in his religion and didn’t sell out!! I look forward to seeing his return if he decides to do so. He is definitely one of those people that you don’t forget about. He’s left a mark that will always be remembered weather he decides to return or not. Thank you Chis Tucker for the great films you were in. Thanks for the video! Take care.

    Chris Tucker may have disappeared from Hollywood but at least he’s got a classic film in his career which is the original ‘Rush Hour.’ For that he’ll always be a legend to me. So many actors may be in a lot of films but they’re not classics lol. Not every actor can say that they have a classic film that stood the test of time especially comedic actors. So yeah Chris Tucker is a goat for the original ‘Rush Hour’ alone.

      Sad thing is Chappell knew what was happening,he scared. Then after the media made y'all think he lost his mind and was crazy and went to the mental hospital. They wasn't gonna let him get out they made to much money off him. Its sad dave is no longer with us,I was a true fan of him.

      His white actor counterparts do the same... be picky, choosing what's best for them. Why can't he? Again with Hollywood expecting Blacks to choose whatever they give them and expect them to be grateful. Smh
