He opens up about chasing Hollywood dreams, facing setbacks like dropping out of Howard and becoming a young father, and later confronting his health through a battle with diabetes. With grit, laughter, and resilience, Anthony reflects on how he turned struggle into strength, building a legacy that thrives both on and off screen.
