Who Is Kevin Hart?

Kevin Hart is an American stand-up comedian and actor who rose from open-mic nights in Philadelphia to become one of the biggest comedy stars in the world. His stand-up specials, including Laugh at My Pain and Seriously Funny, filled arenas and broke box-office records for comedy films, while his acting roles have made him a fixture in Hollywood comedies and action films.

Hart is a frequent co-star of Dwayne Johnson, with whom he appeared in Central Intelligence and the Jumanji films, and their contrasting sizes and styles became a running joke in their films together. He has also worked with Mark Wahlberg, co-starring with him in the Netflix comedy Me Time in 2022. Away from acting, he runs the production company Hartbeat and has written a bestselling memoir.

Kevin Hart’s Early Life & Background

Kevin Hart was born on July 6, 1979, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and raised in North Philadelphia by his mother, Nancy Hart, a computer analyst. His father, Henry Witherspoon, struggled with drug addiction and spent much of Hart’s childhood in and out of prison. Hart attended George Washington High School in Philadelphia and briefly attended community college in New York.

After college he worked as a shoe salesman in Philadelphia while trying stand-up comedy at open-mic nights. His early sets were not always successful, and he has said he was booed off stage more than once, but he kept performing, developing a style based on stories about his family, his height and his life in Philadelphia. In 2002 he appeared in the film Paper Soldiers, his first major screen role.
