==Biography==

He is best known for the role of photographer Dennis Price, whose nickname was Animal, in the television series ''[[Lou Grant (television series)|Lou Grant]]'', from 1977 to 1982. The slovenly character was controversial among photographic professionals. Early in the series' run, the [[Professional Photographers Association of America]] found the role to be a libel on their craft and demanded that the Animal character be eliminated. However, the [[National Press Photographers Association]] found that the series and Anderson's character had sparked interest in many young people in entering the profession.
