Anthony Anderson will reprise his role as Detective Bernard in the return of "Law & Order."
The actor begins shooting at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, December 8.
Anderson expressed his excitement about venturing into a new creative field with his NBC character.
The 51-year-old played Detective Bernard before the show was taken off air in 2010.
Anderson wanted his 21-year-old son Nathan to play Andre Jr. in "Black-ish."
The producer said Nathan's off-the-charts swag factor prevented him from embodying the nerdy role.
Anderson also parents 25-year-old Kyra, a graduate student at the University of Houston, with partner Alvina.
The father-of-two credited taking the COVID-19 vaccine to his age, Type 2 diabetes, and socialization benefits.
Anderson teased that the 2022 final season of "Black-ish" will wrap up all loose ends.
