Netflix's latest hit drama is not strictly a true story. It is a seven-episode series created by Eric Newman (Narcos: Mexico) and starring Kevin Hart, and is very loosely based on the real life of a comedian. Hart plays the Kid, a Philadelphia comedian who is at odds with his brother. The Kid, played by Hart, is a Philadelphia comedian who has a feud with his brother. The brothers' antics over a comedy show in the Kid's hometown are all made up, including a lot of dead bodies. True Story is propelled by its intriguing plot and a terrific cast, led by Hart and Wesley Snipes. Here's a look at the cast of this remarkable thriller.

Philly comedian Kid is fresh off a superhero movie. After a wild night with his estranged brother and old friends, Kid wakes up next to a dead woman. Like his role, Hart started out as a comedian and gradually landed bigger and bigger roles, including "Central Intelligence," "The Secret Life of Pets," and the "Jumanji" remake. True Story" is his second dramatic role in a Netflix project, after the film "Fatherhood."

Kidd's brother Carlton is involved in dodgy business dealings, including a deal with the Mafia. When Kid gets into trouble, Carlton suggests a fixer to cover up the crime, but he also asks Kid for some illegal favors. An industry veteran, Snipes is best known for playing the titular vampire hunter in Marvel's "Blade" trilogy. He has recently appeared in the comedies "Doremite is My Name" and "Coming 2 America."

Billy is a comedian and became a writer and collaborator of the Kid after he was discovered on YouTube. He is also dating another member of his team, bodyguard Hershel. Newsom is the voice of the animated series Star Trek: Lower Deck and has appeared in Space Force, Superstore, and The Twilight Zone. He also has a podcast, "Yo, Is This Racist?"

Todd is Kidd's manager and does not seem to know about Kidd's personal life. Adelstein is a longtime television actor who has played supporting roles in very popular shows such as Prison Break, Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice.

Hershel, Kid's bodyguard, is loyal but sometimes clashes with Kid, mainly because of his relationship with Billy and his misunderstanding of Kid's old friend. Catlett has appeared on shows such as First, Love Is_, Black Lightning, and Lovecraft Country.

Monica is Kidd's soon-to-be ex-wife, and the two, who have a son together, have publicly engaged in a muddled divorce. London got her break in the cult favorite film ATL, and has also appeared in This Christmas, I Love You, Beth Cooper, and The Game. Her latest film is the action movie Without Remorse, opposite Michael B. Jordan.

Gene is one of Kidd's biggest fans and regularly records videos of the comedian. He ends up recording Kidd as he disposes of a dead body, giving him access to the celebrity's private life in exchange for his silence. Rossi is best known for his roles in Sons of Anarchy, Luke Cage, and the recent Netflix film Army of the Dead.

Savas is a Greek mobster who works with Carlton and drags the Kid into his dirty dealings. Chris Diamantopoulos is an experienced voice actor who has played lead roles in the Netflix shows Inside Job, Blood of Zeus, and Centaurworld. He has also appeared in the live-action films "Red Notice," "Silicon Valley," and "Made for Love."

Ali is Savas' brother, a fixer whom Carlton seeks help from. Zane is best known for his decades-long acting career as the aristocrat Kal in Titanic and as Match in Back to the Future.
