Is
he the buffoon who co-starred opposite a drug-sniffing mutt
in See Spot Run, a money-swiping marsupial in Kangaroo Jack
and Frankie Muniz in Agent Cody Banks 2?
Is
he the fast-talking fat guy we've seen in urban comedies
such as Big Momma's House, Malibu's Most Wanted and his
current laugher, King's Ransom (opening Friday)?
Or is he the star of last season's quickly canceled WB sitcom,
All About the Andersons, based on his own life as a struggling
actor?
While he's not making apologies for any of those projects,
Anderson is ready to get serious about his career.

Anderson's round baby face keeps looming up like a balloon
in the craziest hits: He was one of Jim Carrey's triplet
sons in Me, Myself & Irene, battled a roo in Kangaroo
Jack and now plays the mentor of a hip-hop farmboy in
Scary Movie 3. "Comedy is second nature for me,"
he says, and it's easy to see why. A reporter visiting
Anderson's L.A. home no sooner asks a question than
his mother, Doris Bowman, shots and laughs. "Tell
him 'bout the time I chased you daddy with a shotgun!"
(She claims she's not kidding.)

The
throwback sitcom All About the Andersons mixes elements
of some beloved old shows.
Friday prime time means no homework for tomorrow, no lunches
to bag, no gym uniform to toss into the dryer. It's the
right to exercise our inalienable right to chill out and
watch some TV after a hard week at work or school.

Anthony
Anderson
USA Today
Who he is: Anderson
stars in the WB family sitcom All About the Andersons...
which is loosely based on his own life.
Why you might know him:
Though he's fairly new to TV, the cherubic young comic
has been seen in such films as Barbershop and
Kangaroo Jack.
Why
you will know him: In the midst of so many
abrasive family comedies about children who hate their
parents or spouses who hate their in-laws, Anderson
offers something of a throwback: a sweet sitcom about
a family whose love for each other comes through even
when they bicker. And at the center is Anderson, quite
lovable himself as a struggling actor who takes his
8-year-old son and moves back in with his parents.
As the title will tell you, Anderson is obviously the
star of the show, and as one of the producers, he has
shaped it into a showcase for his talents. But he also
has had the great sense to hire two pros as his parents:
Roz Ryan and John Amos, who make Anderson look better
just by being around. A smart star knows the value of
a good setting.
