Miramax
Kevin Hart was in 45 movies last year. Not really, but he was in five, has three coming out this year, and three more next year (so far). It might feel like he’s in just about everything. The comedian and actor is a seriously busy guy these days, having just finished hosting Comedy Central’s Justin Bieber Roast and gearing up for the opening of Get Hard with Will Ferrell this weekend.
Hart’s been a show business hustler for well over a decade, but it’s only in the last few years that he’s risen to the superstar status where he can command $2 million for just a tweet. (For a 140 character tweet, that breaks down to about $14,285.70 per character.) Before Kevin Hart was selling out Madison Square Garden and commanding co-starring roles with juggernauts like Will Ferrell, he was appearing in small parts and forgotten sitcoms. Here’s a recap of his acting roles that you might have forgotten about, ending with his box office breakout Think Like a Man.
