Christopher Tucker (born August 31, 1971) is an American actor and stand-up comedian. He is known for his roles of Smokey in F. Gary Gray's Friday and as Detective James Carter in Brett Ratner's Rush Hour movie series.[2]

Many years ago, he travelled with Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane to Africa,[3] and Tucker said in 2021 that he did not know (at the time of travelling) that the plane was owned by a "sex offender".[4]
