Comedian Kevin Hart to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Philadelphia shoe-salesman-turned-comedian Kevin Hart will receive the 2,591st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, four days before the release of his stand-up comedy film, “Kevin  Hart: What Now?”

Set to join Hart in speaking at the 11 a.m. ceremony at 7013 Hollywood Blvd., next to DSW Shoes, are Ice Cube, who co-starred with Hart in  “Ride Along” and “Ride Along 2”; Will Packer, who produced six of Hart’s films, and Tim Story, who directed Hart in “Ride Along,” “Ride Along 2,” “Think Like a Man,” “Think Like a Man Too” and “Kevin  Hart: What Now?”

The ceremony will be streamed live on walkoffame.com.

Hart quit his job as a shoe salesman to embark on a career as a comedian following an acclaimed performance at an amateur night at a Philadelphia comedy club. He went on to perform in such venues as the Boston Comedy Club, Caroline’s on Broadway, Stand Up NY and Los Angeles’ Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store.

Hart’s first performance at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal led to his movie career. His first film role was as a rookie thief who is part of a crew of thieves who do small-time jobs in the 2002 urban crime comedy “Paper Soldiers.”

Hart’s other movie credits include “Scary Movie 3,” “Scary Movie 4,” “Soul Plane,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Little Fockers,” “Death at a Funeral,” “Fool’s Gold,” “The Wedding Ringer,” and “Get Hard.”

In addition to “Ride Along 2,” Hart was also in two other films released earlier this year, co-starring with Dwayne Johnson in the action comedy “Central Intelligence,” and supplying the voice of Snowball, a white rabbit, in the animated comedy “The Secret Life of Pets.”

Hart also stars in, co-created and produces the BET reality television parody “Real Husbands of Hollywood.” He is also part of the cast of the untitled sequel to “Jumanji,” set for release on July 28, 2017.
