Tucker, who began his career as a young ballet dancer, credits his experience with the Boston Ballet for his discipline and ability to take direction, skills that have served him well in his acting pursuits. He also talked about growing up in Boston and how his diverse upbringing has informed his acting work. When asked about his preference between film and TV, Tucker highlighted the importance of character over medium. He believes both mediums offer ample opportunities to tell stories that resonate with audiences. One of the unique aspects of Tucker's career is his ability to avoid being typecast into a particular genre or role. He hopes to continue taking on diverse characters that challenge him as an actor, even if it means going through painful or challenging periods., While Tucker recognizes the power of social media in connecting with fans, he is cautious about sharing too much personal information that might limit his professional opportunities.

Tucker's breakthrough role was in the film "The Deep End, " which he says changed his career trajectory. However, he sees every project he works on as an opportunity to build upon his past experiences and grow as an actor. For his latest role in "Palm Trees and Power Lines, " Tucker relied on his physical exploration and training in Alexander Technique to inform his performance. He believes that every character's trauma tells their public persona and that bringing those inner complexities to life on screen is his job. Finally, Tucker shared that he has several new projects in the works, including a fictional podcast called "The Mantawauk Caves" and a film called "God is a Bullet" with Jamie Foxx. For Tucker, storytelling is a career and a way of life.
