Chris Tucker (born August 31, 1972) is an American actor and comedian who has appeared in a number of hit movies.

His first major movie role was alongside former rapper Ice Cube in the 1995 movie Friday, but his best-known role was in the martial-arts action comedy Rush Hour and its sequel, where he played a wise-cracking African-American sidekick to Jackie Chan's usual self-effacing personae.

He also continues to perform standup comedy.
