He enjoyed watching cowboy movies, “Sanford and Son,” “The Jeffersons,” “Heat of the Night,” “Andy Griffith,” “Perry Mason” and “Alfred Hitchcock.” Football was his favorite sport, and he had a fondness for the quotes, "I know that," "that man's at the door,” “I never promised you a rose garden” and his famous self-empowering saying, “she-mocka-shia!” Professionally, Anthony was a craftsman and dabbled in wrestling in his earlier years.
