Kevin Hart has turned his love of stand-up into a successful and versatile career as a film and television actor.

His comedic talents are not limited to film, as Hart has built a broad resume in television as well. He starred in and executive produced ABC's "The Big House" and had recurring roles on "Love, Inc," "Barbershop" and "Undeclared." Recently, he followed in the footsteps of D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer, when he became host of BET's classic stand-up comedy series, "Comic View: One Mic Stand," which re-launched in September.
Coming up in 2009, Hart will star opposite Morris Chestnut and Eddie Cibrian in "Not Easily Broken" and will premiere his new one-hour comedy special, "I'm a Grown Little Man," on Comedy Central.
