Actor Anthony Anderson who is popularly known for his leading roles in television dramas such as ‘K-Ville’, ‘The Shield’ has been progressively losing weight. The actor decided to slim down after he landed a role in the popular crime show Law & Order.
According to reports, the producer of the crime show, Dick Wolf asked Anderson not to gain weight anymore.
The overweight star met Wolf and had a heart-to-heart chat when he was signed for the role in 2008.
He has since lost 35 pounds (15.8 kilograms) and plans to lose the same amount of weight again this summer 2010.
Anthony Anderson quoted, "We sat down and he said, 'Hey Anthony, I like the way you look. Promise me you won’t get any fatter.'
"From that day on, I was like, 'OK, I got your number...' It was motivation," he added.
