The Die Hart variant of Kevin Hart is wildly successful, known for his blockbuster comedy films. However, he's actively trying to make a pivot in his career to become a legendary action star. Unfortunately for him, he's a bit naive as to how much work that's going to take. Plus, most of Hollywood hasn't bought into his dream and there are forces actively working against him. 

In real life, Kevin Hart happens to be one of the busiest people in the entertainment industry. He's largely known for the Think Like a Man film series and the reimagined Jumanji franchise. Most recently, he's been spotted in Me Time, The Man from Toronto and Fatherhood, and he hosts the interview series Hart to Heart.
