Kevin Darnell Hart (born July 6, 1979), is an American comedian and actor.
His humor often invokes self-deprecation, derived from his experiences as a black man with a large extended family.
He played Franklin "Mouse" Finbar, the video game version of Fridge in the 2017 Jumanji film and its sequel.
In the summer of 2018, he hosted a new CBS reality game show called TKO (Total Knock Out).

2019 Auto Accident[]
On September 1, 2019, the day before Labor Day, Kevin was involved in an auto accident in his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. He wasn't driving at the time; he was a passenger in that car. The car went off Mulholland Highway and rolled down an embankment near Calabasas, California. He, the driver (Jared Black) and one other passenger (Rebecca Broxterman) were not killed, but two of them reportedly suffered "major back injuries" and were taken to hospitals. Rebecca was reportedly just in pain and not hospitalized.
Hart has since been discharged from the hospital and has recovered nicely.
