Before joining Law & Order, Anderson starred in the New Orleans - based drama “K-Ville.” Over the years, he has displayed his bountiful talent in the DreamWorks’ blockbuster TRANSFORMERS, directed by Michael Bay; as well as in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar winning feature, THE DEPARTED alongside a stellar cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.
