African American actor who is mainly remembered for his
Pullman Porter roles as "Rochester" with Jack
Benny in Radio and Films. His course signature voice can
be heard in many Flintstones TV series.
His
formal show business career began in 1919 when he appeared
in a Negro revue, and continued when he and his older brother,
Cornelius, toured as a two man music and dance team. Anderson
did dance in some of his shows, and was very good at it,
however the dancing was atypical Jim Crow type of Negro
stereotyping roles that African-Americans could partake
in those racially segregated times.
