Kevin Hart has a history of being typecast, but a new Netflix heist movie finally portrays him in a relatively different light. After starting his career as a stand-up comedian, Kevin Hart landed his first movie role in 2002's Paper Soldiers. As his acting career gained momentum, he made small appearances in films like Little Fockers, Death at a Funeral, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Although these early roles did not exactly make him a household name, they determined the direction in which his career was going to head in.
