By the time of Ride Along (2014), a buddy-cop comedy with Ice Cube that spawned a 2016 sequel, Hart was among the leading comedic actors on the big screen. Hart's career has spanned a varying list of films, including Paper Soldiers (2002), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2004), Soul Plane (2004), Little Fockers (2010) and T he Five-Year Engagement (2011). After winning several amateur stand-up performances, he began performing regularly in clubs around the country.
Under the guidance of Keith Robinson, a veteran comedian who began to mentor the younger comic, Hart began performing under his own name and creating material drawn from real-life experiences. "I was trying to be everybody," he once said. Few saw Hart, and those who did, didn't find him all that funny. For a time, Hart pounded the pavement at a variety of small comedy clubs, working under the stage name of Lil' Kev the Bastard. But it was back in his hometown of Philadelphia, while working as a shoe salesman, that Hart's stand-up career began to blossom.
Smoove as some important influences.Īfter graduating from high school, Hart moved to New York City and later to Brockton, Massachusetts. "The jokes," he has said of his stand-up, "come from a real experience." As a boy, Hart was obsessed with stand-up comedy and comedians in general, and he listed Chris Tucker and J.B. The experience of those tough years would later provide a source for much of Hart's comedy.
