BET Awards 2025: Kevin Hart’s Funniest (and Surprisingly Deepest) Acting Moments So Far
Kevin Hart is the highest-grossing comedian in the world—but his BET Best Actor nomination proves he’s got serious range. Beneath the one-liners and frantic energy is an actor capable of heart, grief, and surprisingly grounded performances.
Here’s the proof
“Fatherhood” (2021)
A single dad navigating grief? This Netflix original was tender, funny, and sincere. Hart carried it with charm and restraint.
“True Story” (2021)
Playing a darker, more dramatic version of himself, Hart dove into thriller territory—and crushed it. It was a career pivot moment.
“The Upside” (2019)
Opposite Bryan Cranston, Hart went toe-to-toe with one of TV’s greatest. He was funny, yes—but also deeply empathetic and emotionally raw.

“Ride Along” Series
Classic Hart. Loud, funny, and scene-stealing—but with just enough depth to keep it fresh.
“Think Like a Man” (2012)
A rom-com ensemble with Hart as the comic glue. His timing made him the breakout.
“Night School” (2018)
Silly on the surface, but the film’s underlying message about redemption and second chances gave Hart room to stretch.

“Real Husbands of Hollywood”
Meta, hilarious, and still iconic. Hart spoofed his own persona and created one of BET’s funniest shows.
Hart’s 2025 nomination is a reminder that sometimes comedy masks the best drama. And Kevin Hart is no joke when it comes to acting chops.
