There are a lot of persons that can state they work at Hollywood, but how many of them can really say that they are actors? Of course, many of them don't even claim the fact that they have the necessary talent. But what about Tracy Morgan and his acting skills?
Like many actors, Tracy Morgan started as a stand-up comedian on the stages of New York, a thing he is still doing now. Obviously, he obtained a lot of roles in comedies as one of the "funny guys". He definitely has a gift for making people laugh and this is very appreciated by the American public, in Hollywood productions and also in television shows. You can say that he only played in pretty bad movies like "How High" and "Last Sunday", but his performance was not bad at all and he did his job quite well. A few movie critics say his acting is awful and that he will never be able to obtain a role in a good movie. Nevertheless, there were also actors that performed in B movies all their life and became famous instantly with one good role. Maybe this will be the case with Tracy Morgan, despite the fact that he seems more interested in his activity as a stand-up comedian and television shows rather than Hollywood appearances.

Like a lot of Hollywood stars, Tracy Morgan had a couple of problems with the law over the years. It seems that celebrity does not always bring good things, problems coming along with money and fame in most cases.
Despite the fact that Tracy Morgan grew up in Bronx, his record stated no problems at all, being almost a model citizen until a few years ago. In December 2005 he was arrested by the police department from Hollywood for impaired driving charges. A year passed and in November 2006 Tracy Morgan was arrested in Manhattan for driving under the influence of alcohol, but he got away easily. However, his problems related to alcohol consumption did not end there and in May 2007 a female DJ from Miami accused him for fondling her in the studio of a local radio station. It seems that he was under the influence of alcohol at that time so he was convicted to wearing a remote alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet for almost three months. After admitting that he did not restrain from alcohol consumption, he had to wear the bracelet for another three months. Luckily for him, he avoided being sentenced to jail because of breaking the agreement, but it is likely that Tracy Morgan will also have problems with the law in the future.
