Funny man Anthony Anderson knew he was destined to make people laugh before he found out entertaining was in his blood. Born and raised in Compton, CA, Anderson got his start in show business as a stand up comedian and then branched out into film and television. After having his DNA tested, results revealed Anderson’s ancestors hail from Bubi people of Bioko Island (now known as the Equatorial Guinea), and from the Tikar, Hausa, and Fulani people of Cameroon. “Since I was a kid, I said that this is my purpose in my life – to entertain, to have an effect on people’s lives with my work. And to now know that there’s direct lineage to the artists of Africa, my life and work has been validated.”
