I'm going to have to steal this one. Oh and in my opinion Kevin Hart is one of the most unfunniest dudes I have ever seen. So its definitely believable he's an industry plant.
You can say you don't find him funny, but to entertain the idea that he's a plant is ridiculous.
The first movie I remember seeing Kevin Heart in was Paper Soldiers with Beanie Segal. I'm going to assume he partly got the role due to being in/from Philly. That film isn't even considered a cult classic. The other film was Soul Plan which was a bust and likely close to low budget. He was in 40 year old virgin,but most people didn't know him and it was one scene. He's biggest movie or stand out role wasn't until Think Like a Man.
I don't know shit about his early comedy career, but Paper Soldiers is around 2002. Grown Little Man comes out in 2009 and he uses the momentum to be in other movie roles and stand up specials. Seemingly, Kevin built his career over the course of years starting with small roles. He didn't pop out being a super star over night.
I'll never understand why Black people try to discredit others work/success by saying they are a plant or in some global cult.
