It's 100% true. If the script involves minimal reading and lots of improv and comedic timing (which he has in spades) he's great in it. cf Fifth Element and Friday.

That's why he hasn't been in anything except a glorified cameo in Silver Linings Playbook in 20 years.

:wtc:With the money he made from the Rush Hour movies if not his prior work, couldn’t he have hired someone to teach him how to read? Choosing to be illiterate has to be one the dumbest moves you can make as a person

Also, you know, he might have tried to learn how to read better, and might just have a learning disability or something? Like, my assumption wasn't that he was actively choosing to be illiterate.

Good point. It wouldn’t make sense for a actor to not read so a disability would be plausible. Shame on me.

Besides, he’s made more money than most of us combined so assuming a frugal lifestyle and/or smart investing, he doesn’t need the work.
