As a teenager at San Pasqual High in Escondido, California, Anderson was a computer hacker under the pseudonym Lord Flathead (friends with Bill Landreth) who cracked the security of Chase Manhattan Bank, prompting an FBI raid. He was not arrested because of his age. Anderson studied English and Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley, after which he was lead singer in a band called Swank and spent some time in Taiwan, before returning to the U.S. to study for a degree in Critical Film Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.
