Orlando comedian Kam Patterson joins the cast of a new Kevin Hart film
West Orlando comedian Kam Patterson, who in 2023 earned a regular slot on the popular comedy podcast "Kill Tony," has been tapped for a role in the forthcoming Netflix film 72 Hours, a Kevin Hart vehicle directed by Tim Story, known for his work on Barbershop, Think Like a Man and Ride Along.
The bachelor party-themed comedy follows a 40-year-old executive, played by Hart, who hopes to revive his struggling career by joining a group of 20-somethings on a wild three-day bender after he's inadvertently added to their group text.
The 26-year-old Patterson's work on the film has taken him away from the comedy stage, and he won't even be able to perform at the Jacksonville and Orlando "Killers of Kill Tony" tour stops in July, as previously planned, his father Kenneth Patterson tells Orlando Weekly.
Kam Patterson performed on Dec. 19, 2021, with “King Quelz” Sumter, Derriel “Shopwitchaboy” Lewis, Jonte “Taetattedup” Vaughn, and Roberto “Mini” Font (front). Also pictured: DJ Viral (far left) and Fashion designer Anthony “Biggs” Dequental of Black Blossom Apparel.
