Rush Hour 2 question

Cafe Society

So hubby & I went to see Rush Hour 2 on Saturday night, and something has been bugging me ever since, and I hope someone here can help, in light of the “character actor” thread excellence!

Who played Kenny, the African-American martial artist who owns the Chinese soul food restaurant on Crenshaw? He looked so familiar, but I have pregnant-brain and just can’t place him.

Thanks all!

PS- yeah, I love Jackie Chan, so what? To paraphrase a review of this film- “Some people say that they would watch Kevin Spacey read the phone book? Well, I would watch Jackie Chan kick the phone book’s ass!” Who needs content when you have Jackie?

The actor’s name is Don Cheadle, and he was also in “Boogie Nights.”

That help?

That was Don Cheadle?!?

Whoa. Thanks.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. :smiley:

Though I think it’s having Chris Tucker hanging around that drags down things down a tad – that castrato shrill grates after fifteen seconds…

He also played the DEA Agent (Cop?), who’s partner was killed, in Traffic.

That’s where I saw him last! Thanks Dignan!

I loved Chris Tucker in Fifth Element, in all his shrill, castrato, Jean-Paul Gautier splendor, but I thought it was just a part…
