CBSN
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart isn't afraid to show his dramatic side. It's a side he's embraced in films like "The Upside" and "Fatherhood." Now, he's showcasing it again in the Netflix limited thriller series "True Story."
"The simple idea came from watching 'Narcos.' Loving the show, loving the dynamic behind it," Hart told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King. "And wondering what I would be like in the setting of turmoil like that."
Parts of the series are moments from real experiences, Hart said.
Keri Russell, literally acting as U.S. ambassador, was deftly balancing yet another diplomatic crisis, in a rented manor, with prop champagne. And the plot, while plausible, was scripted.

Dua Lipa and Cher opened the Rock & Roll Hall Fame induction ceremony on Saturday night singing "Believe" before giving way to a medley of rump shakers by funk masters Kool & the Gang, rock classics by Foreigner and Peter Frampton, and a powerhouse performance by Dionne Warwick, bringing the house down at 83.
