He came to prominence in the 1995 cult classic Friday, alongside Ice Cube, and then appeared in Luc Besson's The Fifth Element before beginning work on the highly commercially successful Rush Hour films. 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.

Recently, he appeared in the film Silver Linings Playbook with Robert DeNiro and Bradley Cooper.
