Kevin Hart is currently resting on his throne as the reigning king of comedy, but the path to the palace didn’t come easy. In his latest film, The Wedding Ringer, the funnyman stars as Jimmy. A best-man-for-hire who excels in his obscure choice of profession. However, he got his shine on in plenty of projects over the years that didn’t allow for crossover greatness for the masses to know him as “Jimmy.”
Get a load of the most ridiculous names from Kevin Hart movie characters of days past. In addition, go see The Wedding Ringer this weekend and tell Kevin Hart which one of former character names is the funniest.
