Famous for Acting
Kevin Hart is an American actor and comedian, born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kevin started his career by winning several amateur comedy competitions at clubs throughout the New England area, and he got his first real break in 2001 when he was cast by Judd Apatow for a recurring role on the TV series Undeclared. The series only lasted one season, but it was enough for him to get his name out and land other roles in movies like Paper Soldiers, Scary Movie 3, and Along Came Polly. His comedic fame began to really grow with the release of his first real stand-up album I'm a Grown Little Man in 2009. This was followed by Seriously Funny in 2010, and most recently Laugh at My Pain in 2011, which was arguably his most successful stand-up act in his career so far.

Kevin's first comedic gig was at the Laff House in Philadelphia under the name of Lil Kev, which didn't go well at all. He went through a slump at first when he was booed off stage several times. One man even threw a piece of chicken at him while he was on stage once. After a few unsuccessful shows, Kevin began entering comedy competitions throughout Massachusetts and turned his luck around. It took Kevin some time to come up with his own comedic style. After an early period of trying to imitate other comedians like Chris Tucker (the "Rush Hour" star), Kevin found his own rhythm by talking about his own insecurities and his own life experiences. In his own words, "Because of what I do, it has to be an open book,” he said. “But right now this is a book that is being written." Kevin is known for making fun of himself before other's get the chance to. By keeping himself humble and relatable, and not becoming just another performer on stage, he has the ability to entertain any type of audience, whether it be professionals or a crowd full of college kids.
