Kevin Hart (1979-) has quietly become one of the biggest movie stars acting today. I first noticing this when Grudge Match was about to open. Grudge Match starred Robert DeNiro and Sylvester Stallone as former boxers. As the movie came closer to its opening weekend….the trailers went from emphasizing DeNiro and Stallone and starred to really push the fact that Hart was in the movie. Not too bad for a guy that was pretty much only known as a standup comedian only a few years ago.
His IMDb page shows over 85 acting credits since 2001. This page will rank Kevin Hart movies from Best to Worst in five different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, cameos and movies that were not released in theaters were not included in the rankings.

Love the little man. He has been a busy man this year. Are you going to add in Central Intelligence, Secret Lives of Pets and What Now? Curious how they will compare with his other movies.
Hey DiCarlon…yep I need to update his page, Anna Kendrick and Tim Burton’s page….not to mention fix my Hugh Grant page. Glad you like Kevin Hart so much….he has become on of the biggest stars working today.
great tribute to a comic genius
Hey LittleManBigHeart….I agree with you 100%
I have been a fan of his for years. I am so happy that he has reached the top of the mountain. He has been in more than 15 movies. Why not here?
Thanks for stopping by D. Washington. I would agree he does seem to be at the top of the mountain
The man is a genius. Cosby, Pryor, Murphy and now Hart.
Hey Cedric….seems like he is getting bigger and bigger with each passing year. I like your rundown of comics…..he does seem to fit right in
