Lucas played the pivotal role of Ron Launius, the leader of the gang of drug lords that was viciously murdered. In that same year, Lucas also starred opposite Jennifer Connelly in Ang Lee's Hulk.

In the summer of 2002, Lucas starred in Andy Tennant's box office smash Sweet Home Alabama, opposite Reese Whitherspoon. He also co-starred that year in the Oscar- winning Ron Howard and Jonathan Glazer film, A Beautiful Mind.
