Stanley Anderson (born October 23, 1939) is an American actor.
Anderson was born in Billings, Montana. A Theatre Masters Degree graduate of San Jose State University in the sixties, he began his professional acting career in 1967. Prior to 1990 and his work in film and television, Mr. Anderson had spent twenty-three years in over two-hundred productions as a professional actor working at Arena Stage, ACT, The Actors Company, and the California Shakespeare Festival, among others.
Well known to TV fans for his role as Drew Carey's father "George Carey" on The Drew Carey Show, Stanley Anderson began his study of acting after returning from two years of military service in Korea. After undergraduate and graduate work at San Jose State University, where he appeared in 16 productions, he and his wife, actress Judith Long, moved to Seattle, Washington where they spent three years at the Seattle Repertory Theatre. After two years at Actors Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky, Anderson headed to Washington, DC to join the prestigious Arena Stage. His debut with Arena Stage was in the starring role of "Randall P. McMurphy" in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Anderson went on to spend seventeen years with Arena Stage, appearing in nearly a hundred of their productions.
Anderson's films include The Rock, The Pelican Brief, RoboCop 3, and Armageddon. His TV guest appearances include The Practice, The X-Files, and he played "Judge Vandelay" in the Seinfeld episode: "The Finale." He played in both Michael Bay's movies The Rock and Armageddon in the role of the US president. Anderson continues to be heard as a major voiceover talent for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, PBS, and the History Channel documentaries as well as being a pimary voice for Democratic Issues and Candidates.
