Anthony Anderson

American actor and Hollywood funnyman Anthony Anderson is a staple figure in the comedy film genre. Throughout his 26-year career, he has starred in countless well-known titles, including Black-ish, Iron Chef America, and Transformers. Anderson’s knack for comedy was discovered very early on in his life. However, his first attempts to break into the genre were largely unsuccessful.

Fortunately, his good friend Guy Torry encouraged him to push through and partnered with him for several stand-up skits. The duo later hit the jackpot when given acting credits in Eddie Murphy’s 1999 film, Life. The actor then went on to star in a lot more comedy films. Today, Anderson also busies himself with production work, often producing some of today’s most popular shows. He’s also ventured into directorial work and even directed a short film later featured in In The House.
