Movies with Joey Wells

Joey Wells has carved out an impressive career as a versatile character actor, lending his talents to a wide range of comedic roles over the past two decades. Though he may not be a household name, Wells' reliable screen presence and knack for stealing scenes have made him a favorite among fans of contemporary urban comedy. Wells first came to prominence in the early 2000s, appearing in stand-up specials and sketch comedy shows alongside fellow rising stars like Kevin Hart. His turn in the 2005 comedy anthology Guy Torry's Phat Comedy Tuesdays, Vol. 1 showcased his impeccable timing and ability to riff off established comedians. This led to increasingly high-profile supporting roles in films like the 2013 stand-up concert movie Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain and the 2016 comedy Kevin Hart: What Now?. In recent years, Wells has demonstrated surprising range, delivering nuanced dramatic work in gritty crime dramas like the 2022 neo-noir Hardboiled while still maintaining his comedic chops in lighter fare like the 2021 Tom & Jerry live-action/animated hybrid.
