Anthony Anderson co-starred with Terrence Howard in 2005’s critically acclaimed urban drama “Hustle & Flow.” Anderson earned his third NAACP Image Award nomination for his performance in the film, and also shared in a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Motion Picture Cast. He had earlier received Image Award nominations for his work in the sleeper hit comedy “Barbershop” and the romantic comedy “Two Can Play That Game.” Anderson next co-stars in the sci-fi actioner “Transformers,” directed by Michael Bay, which is due out in July 2007.

Anderson made his feature film debut in 1999’s “Life,” with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, and went on to appear in Barry Levinson’s drama “Liberty Heights,” Andrzej Bartkowiak’s actioner “Romeo Must Die,” and the hit comedy “Big Momma’s House.” He first gained the attention of critics and audiences when he starred as one of Jim Carrey’s unlikely sons in the Farrelly brothers’ comedy “Me, Myself & Irene.” Anderson has since starred in such films as “See Spot Run,” “Exit Wounds,” “Kangaroo Jack,” “Cradle 2 the Grave,” “Malibu’s Most Wanted,” “King’s Ransom” and “Scary Movie 3 & 4.”

On television, Anderson starred on his own WB series, “All About the Andersons,” which was loosely based on his own life. He more recently joined the cast of the award-winning FX police drama “The Shield,” during the 2005 season, and had a recurring role on “The Bernie Mac Show.”

Anderson grew up in Los Angeles, where he attended the High School for the Performing Arts. While in school, he took first place in the NAACP’s ACTSO Awards with a monologue from “The Great White Hope.” That performance also led to a scholarship from Howard University. In 1996, Anderson landed his first professional job on the Saturday morning teen series “Hang Time.” His other early credits include guest roles on “JAG” and “NYPD Blue.” Anderson also caught the attention of “Ally McBeal” creator David E. Kelley, who wrote a two-episode arc especially for him on the series.

Filmography: Barbershop, Barbershop/ Barbershop 2, Big Mommas House, Hoodwinked, Hustle & Flow, Kings Ransom, Scary Movie 3, The Departed, The Gospel Live, Transformers, Urban Legends: The Final Cut,
