(NEWARK, NJ) — Award winning actor and comedian Chris Tucker returns to New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) on Saturday, July 30 at 8:00pm. Best known for playing the role of Detective James Carter in the Rush Hour film series, Tucker quickly became a favorite on Russell Simmon's HBO Def Comedy Jam in the 1990's and came to prominence in the 1995 film Friday alongside Ice Cube.
Following Friday, Tucker co-starred and executive produced, Money Talks with Charlie Sheen and appeared in Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element before beginning work on the highly commercially successful Rush Hour film series. In 2006, he negotiated an unprecedented $25 million salary to appear in Rush Hour 3, which at the time made him the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
To date, Chris Tucker has starred in films that have collectively grossed over one billion in box office sales world-wide. He recently appeared in the 2013 Oscar nominated film Silver Lining Playbook with Robert DeNiro, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper and is now on an international stand-up comedy tour that has received rave reviews from all over the world.
Tucker is also a humanitarian and spends much of his spare time traveling and working with his Chris Tucker Foundation.
Tickets range from $45 to $125. NJPAC is located at 1 Center Street in Newark, NJ.
