Information About

Anthony Anderson




Anthony Anderson (born August 15 1970 in Los Angeles, California ) is an American Comedian and Actor . He is an alumnus of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.

Anderson first achieved recognition in the 1995 - 2000 NBC Television Show '' Hang Time '', and had a breakout part in 1999 's '' Romeo Must Die '' (his second portrayal as a villain in a film - the next was in Barbershop). Since then, Anderson has starred in a number of films, including '' Exit Wounds '', '' Barbershop '', and '' Kangaroo Jack ''. In 2003, he got his own Sitcom on The WB , ''All About the Andersons'', co-starring John Amos . The series was cancelled after only one season. In March 2005 , Anderson began co-starring in '' The Shield '''s fourth season as Antwon Mitchell, an ex-convict who poses as a community leader while still running his old street gang. His performance on "The Shield" earned him much acclaim from critics who had previously dismissed him as a light comedy actor, resulting in him returning to "The Shield" during the show's fifth season for several episodes.

On July 28 2004 , while filming the motion picture '' Hustle & Flow '', Anderson and crew member Wayne Witherspoon were arrested and charged with Raping a female visitor to Anderson's trailer. The charges were later dismissed, but Anderson was still under suit for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman on the set of '' All About The Andersons ''. {Link without Title}
