Anthony Anderson
As a dynamic performer with incredible screen presence, actor Anthony Anderson started out providing comic relief in a number of films early in his career, including "Life" (1999) and "Big Momma's House" (2000), Anderson quickly made his presence known as a powerful dramatic force with guest starring roles on gritty cop dramas like "NYPD Blue" (ABC, 1993-2005). After earning laughs as a bungling burglar in "Barbershop" (2002) and in his own short-lived sitcom, "All About the Andersons" (The WB, 2003-04), he had a career-defining role as the powerful and much-feared drug kingpin, Antwon Mitchell, on "The Shield" (FX, 2002-08). Giving perhaps his best performance to date, Anderson flung open the doors to a wider variety of roles that helped redirect a career that seemed destined for him to play second banana in cheap comedies. By the time he joined the cast as a homicide detective on "Law & Order" (NBC, 1990-2010), Anderson had more than proved himself as a capable dramatic performer. But his starring role as Los Angeles advertising executive Andre Johnson in the hit sitcom "Black-ish" (ABC 2014- ) reaffirmed his status as a sharp comic actor. While starring on "Black-ish," Anderson also hosted a prime-time reboot of the venerable TV game show "To Tell the Truth" (ABC 2016- ) and created a sideline career as host and producer of travel-themed series for Food Network.
