The Kid (Kevin Hart)

The Kid is coming off a bit of a hot streak, professionally. He has a movie, The Anti-Verse, that is about to hit $1 billion in sales, he’s about to start a new comedy tour, and everything is looking up for him. As for his personal life? Things are a little more complicated. He is in the process of getting divorced, doesn’t spend as much time as he’d want with his son, is trying to maintain his sobriety, and deal with his brother, who relies on his financial support.

At one time, Carlton and The Kid could have been side by side, dominating the industry.

However, since he didn’t, he has used his brother’s name and money to try to get ahead whenever possible.
