Chase Anthony Talks ‘A Whole New Irving’ and ‘BIGGER’ Season 2

Chase Anthony, best known for his role as “Deon Lewis” in Will Packer’s hit dramady series, “Bigger” streaming now on BET+ in which he stars alongside Angela Conwell and Tanisha Long.

Deon Lewis, at first glance is a handsome, college-educated, corporate businessman, who may act comically frugal but is actually a very successful. At work, however, his confidence diminishes as he finds himself code switching to maintain the status quo. This season his character struggles to play the game and move up the corporate latter as his co-workers seem to receive the opportunities that he deserves.

We had the opportunity to interview Chase Anthony about ‘Bigger’ season 2.

Chase can next be seen starring as Irving Miller in the original series, “A Whole New Irving” which follows a cynical and angst-ridden young black man (Irving) who can’t find employment after graduating college. But when he begrudgingly takes a job at a funky Venice Beach health food store he soon finds himself on a journey of spiritual enlightenment, self discovery, and improbable conflicts.

The ‘Bigger’ star has also appeared on Shondaland’s hit drama, “Greys Anatomy”, Fox’s “Lethal Weapon” and Howie Mandel’s TBS hit television show “Deal With It”.

When Chase isn’t acting in front of a camera you can find him on the road, performing stand up comedy. He has toured the country opening up for the legendary comedian, Sinbad and has frequently performed as part of Shaquille O’Neal’s “All Star Comedy Night”. Chase Anthony’s style of comedy interjects a unique perspective on life, women and relationships but he also tackles tough topics like, growing up with an absentee father and dealing with a parent who suffers from alcoholism. Sharing his experiences and challenges through humor affords him the opportunity to spread a positive message and make a difference in people’s lives.

The Atlanta native strives to make a difference daily with an awareness that ultimate happiness starts with oneself and an acknowledgment that people sometimes need an example; someone who has shared the same experience, to know that they are not alone. Anything can be accomplished.
