Deadline

Hart will make his TV drama debut in True Story from Narcos: Mexico executive producer Eric Newman. "Philadelphia-born comedian Hart will play a version of himself in the fictional True Story, which centers on his character Kid and Kid’s older brother Carlton, played by Snipes," per Deadline. "A tour stop in Kid’s hometown of Philadelphia becomes a matter of life and death for one of the world’s most famous comedians when the consequences of a lost evening with his wayward older brother threaten to destroy everything he’s built. Hart grew up in Philadelphia with an older brother who was in and out of jail and made his standup debut in his hometown before moving away." Hart says of the series: “I’ve never been more excited about an acting project in my career. I’ve always been a fan of Wesley Snipes and working with him is mind-blowing."
