Kevin Hart is an American actor and comedian.
Kevin began performing full time at clubs such as the Boston Comedy Club, Caroline's, Stand-Up NY, The Improvisation, The Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. He expanded his reach worldwide, performing at comedy clubs in both Amsterdam and London. But it was his performance at the Montreal Comedy Festival which led to his work in feature films such as "Paper Soldiers" (2002), "Scary Movie 3" (2003) - where he wrote his own part - and "Along Came Polly" (2004).
In 2004 Hart executive-produced, wrote and starred in the ABC-TV sitcom "The Big House," which debuted in April of 2004 and was loosely based on his family in Philadelphia. His other television appearances include a month long stint on "Love, Inc.", "The 25 Best Bodies on BET", "Barbershop" and MTV's "Wild 'n' Out with Nick Cannon."
His biggest break came when he landed the lead role in "Soul Plane" which flew him onto the big screen. He has since landed roles in "Scary Movie 4", "In the Mix", and "The 40 Year Old Virgin", "Fools Gold" and "Meet Dave."
Kevin's hour-long stand-up special, "Grown Little Man," aired on Comedy Central in 2008. In 2009, he landed a co-starring role in Comedy Central's original action/fantasy comedy series, "Krod Mandoon."
Kevin has the uncanny ability to flip the proverbial script and integrate his comedic routines to fit the audience. Whether he is entertaining a group of bank presidents at a charity fund-raiser for the United Way or screaming and shouting over a college rock band, he always leaves his audience feeling satisfied and wanting more.
Kevin Hart was the host of the 2011 BET Awards, held on June 26.
