Starring and sitting as executive producer in black-ish, as well as its spin-off’s grown-ish and mixed-ish, Anderson has also received six Emmy nominations for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series. 

“It’s surreal in a way to see where I’ve come from, the work that I put into this and that I still put into this, and then it all culminating in and having that work paid off with a star on that same Hollywood Walk of Fame,” he tells Variety. “You couldn’t write a story better than that.”
