Kevin Hart Overview:
At 5'4, comedian and actor Kevin Hart has to pack a whole lot of funny into a small frame. Recognizable from his film work (including supporting turns in Fools' Gold and The 40-Year Old Virgin), Hart is also an incredibly fast-talking, self-deprecating stand-up comic. Reminiscent of Richard Pryor and a young Eddie Murphy, Hart combines comedy culled from his own life with a quick, energetic delivery that sells just about any joke he tells.
