Anthony Anderson- Detective Kevin Bernard
Anthony Anderson returns to the cast of NBC's Emmy Award-winning drama "Law & Order" for the 19th season. Anderson plays internal affairs Detective Kevin Bernard opposite Jeremy Sisto as Detective Cyrus Lupo, his new partner.
Anderson has appeared in over 20 films, and his recent performance as the star in the New Orleans-based drama "K-Ville" earned him a fourth NAACP Image Award nomination. Last summer his talent was on display again in the DreamWorks' blockbuster "Transformers," directed by Michael Bay; and last year the ambitious Anderson appeared in Martin Scorsese's Oscar winning feature, "The Departed," with a stellar cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.
He first gained attention as one of Jim Carrey's sons in "Me, Myself, and Irene," and has subsequently appeared in such films as "Scary Movie 3," "Barbershop," "Kangaroo Jack," "Exit Wounds," "Cradle 2 the Grave," "Two Can Play That Game," and "Malibu's Most Wanted." Anderson also starred opposite Eddie Griffin and Michael Imperioli in "My Baby's Daddy," opposite Frankie Muniz in "Agent Cody Banks 2" and had a cameo in "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle." He brought his talent and humor to the small screen in his own WB sitcom "All About the Andersons" which was loosely based on his life. Anderson appeared in the police-drama television series, "The Shield," opposite Michael Chiklis and Glenn Close.
Anderson grew up in Los Angeles. While pursuing his acting career, he continued his education by attending the High School for the Performing Arts, where he earned first place in the NAACP's ACTSO Awards with his performance of the classic monologue from "The Great White Hope." That performance, along with his dedication to his craft, earned him an arts scholarship to Howard University.
Anderson currently lives in Los Angeles. He is married to his college sweetheart, and they have two children.
