Dave Chappelle gave a memorable early-career turn as a small but significant supporting character in the classic 1990s action thriller Con Air. Con Air revolves around a band of dangerous convicts hijacking a prison transport plane. Nicolas Cage stars as Cameron Poe, a paroled ex-Army Ranger who sets out to retake the plane, alongside John Cusack as U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin, who acts as Poe’s partner on the ground.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A renowned standup comedian, Dave Chappelle is best known for his hugely popular comedy specials and his sketch series Chappelle’s Show. Chappelle made his acting debut with the role of Ahchoo in the 1993 Mel Brooks spoof Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Chappelle scored his first starring role as Thurgood Jenkins in the stoner comedy Half Baked, which he also wrote with his Chappelle’s Show partner Neal Brennan.
What made Dave Chappelle the perfect casting choice for Pinball is the character’s sense of humor. Much like Chappelle himself on stage, Pinball is witty, acerbic, and quick one-liners. Much like other Chappelle roles, like Reggie Warrington in The Nutty Professor and Kevin Jackson in You’ve Got Mail, Pinball provides biting comic relief in Con Air. Pinball even rattles off wisecracks after burning a prisoner alive.
Chappelle's Last Movie Was 2018's A Star Is Born While a lot of comedians use standup as a stepping stone to movie stardom, Dave Chappelle has instead used acting roles to boost his standup career. Chappelle’s last film role was George “Noodles” Stone in the Bradley Cooper-directed 2018 remake of A Star is Born. Noodles is a retired musician and the best friend of Cooper’s character, Jack Maine, who visits Noodles when he hits rock bottom.
