The Origin Story
Kevin Hart is one of the world's most successful comedians and actors, and an avid golfer.
Lil Kev
Hart grew up in Philadelphia, raised by his mother, Nancy. He was working as a shoe salesman when he first took the stage at a local comedy club as "Lil Kev," and was booed off. He kept at it through comedy competitions until audiences came around.
Superstar
A recurring role on Undeclared was his first big break, and hits such as Ride Along, Central Intelligence, and the Jumanji films followed. His Laugh at My Pain tour became one of the top-selling comedy tours of its year, and he built his media company, Hartbeat.
