Biography
Early life
Anderson was born in Los Angeles, California, but grew up in nearby Compton, California, the son of Doris, a telephone operator and actress; his stepfather, Sterling Bowman, owns a chain of clothing stores.[1] Anderson is an alumnus of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and Howard University. He trained with actors such as Avery Brooks, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.[2]
Career
He first achieved recognition in the NBC television show Hang Time (1995–2000). He had a breakout role in 2000's Romeo Must Die. 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 and sixth seasons for a few episodes. Anderson also starred in the animated family film Hoodwinked, and had a supporting role in the Best Picture Academy Award-winning film The Departed.
He starred in the live-action Transformers film, based on the 1980s cartoon Transformers. The spring of 2007 saw Anderson in another regular television role, this time as a cast member of the FOX police drama K-Ville. In 2007, Anderson was also a stand-out emcee on a number of episodes of It's Showtime at the Apollo.
Anderson was cast in the NBC crime drama Law & Order in 2008, replacing Jesse L. Martin. Anderson plays the role of Kevin Bernard, a policeman fresh from Internal affairs. He premiered on April 23, 2008. [3] Before this, Anderson had previously played a one-episode role as Detective Lucius Blaine in a 7th season episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, "Fat".
In the game Def Jam: Icon, he provides his voice and likeness to Troy Dollar, a fighter and the leader of a rival record label.[4]
He has won some awards and recognition for his acting roles.[5][6][7]
Personal life
In 1995, he married his college girlfriend, Alvina Stewart. The couple have two children.
On July 28, 2004, while filming the motion picture Hustle & Flow alongside Terrance Howard, Anderson and crew member Wayne Witherspoon were arrested and charged with raping 23 female visitors to Anderson's trailer. The charges were later dismissed, but Anderson was still under suit for allegedly sexually assaulting Dennis Peterson on the set of All About the Andersons.[8]
