Well-known for his role as Detective James Carter in the “Rush Hour” trilogy, comedian and actor Chris Tucker will perform at Central Michigan University during Homecoming Weekend

Tucker, who will appear on Oct. 15, has also starred in the movies “Friday,” “The Fifth Element,” “Money Talks” and “Jackie Brown.” The performance, sponsored by Program Board, will be held at the CMU Events Center at 8:30 p.m.

“I think it will be great to have him come to CMU,” Holt junior Lauren Crawford said. “He’s really funny and I like having big names come visit our school.”

Tickets went on sale Monday and can be purchased at the Events Center. Prices are $30 for floor seats, $25 for the lower bowl, $20 for upper bowl and $15 for the bleachers.

There will be a limit of five tickets per student. Tickets for the general public go on sale Thursday, with prices ranging from $25 to $40.

“It’s pretty cool that an actor would take the time to come to CMU,” said Pittsford sophomore Brooke Maxson.

Three Rivers senior Kamaria Thornton said she is disappointed with the price of tickets.

“When I saw the poster I was excited, but I was surprised by the prices of the tickets,” Thornton said. “I might go though, because I saw him in the ‘Rush Hour’ movies.”

Another performer will be accompanying Tucker, but they are unknown at the time.

“I think it’s going to be sweet and I can’t wait to go,” Macomb freshman Derek Bryan said.
