He also appeared as one of Mother Peep's children in the 1934 Laurel & Hardy feature film March of the Wooden Soldiers.

On radio, Tucker played "the juvenile lead" on Jones and I, which was broadcast on CBS in the early 1940s[4] and Roy Barry on the soap opera Hilltop House.[5]
Tucker went on to serve in the United States Navy during World War II and the Korean War. He served aboard the USS Sigsbee DD-502. During the war he sustained an injury that caused him to limp, when his ship was hit by a Japanese Kamikaze. He later married his wife Myra and had a long successful career with RCA before retiring. His wife died in August 2012. Tucker died on November 23, 2016, of natural causes at Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook, New York.[6] He was 91.
