Jason Brian Carter
Born in London and raised in Gainsborough, Jason Brian Carter's acting career began in 1965 with a role on BBC2's children's show Jackanory as the title character in Hawkwing, The Young Indian Brave. He would have been 4 or 5 at the time. When he was old enough, he attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. After many appearances on the London stage, he moved to the United States and found roles and guest appearances in various made-for-tv movies and television shows including Beverly Hills, 90210, Diagnosis Murder and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris… More (tv movie). Undoubtedly his most memorable role to date was Marcus Cole, the Ranger on the sci-fi series Babylon 5.

Jason started an acting workshop with Babylon 5 castmate, the late Richard Biggs. The Biggs and Carter Experience gave the actors the opportunity share on their passion for acting with others. Jason is continuing the work with The Fundamentals of Acting which he conducts at schools and conventions.

Jason is also a published poet.

    Would love to see Jason Carter as a permanent character in a top notch series that allows him to stretch the artistic wings to show viewers what he's really capabile of. hide show

    In my opinion, Jason Carter is an one of the most versatile, and underrated, actors in the business today.

    Best known for his portrayal of Ranger Marcus Cole in the series Babylon 5 allowed viewers to catch glimpses of his humor and his dramatic presence, not to mention the occassional fight scenes that he enacted seemlessly and gracefully. This endearing character was very popular and the outcry at his demise was immediate.

    But my first glimps of Jason was his portrayal of Alec Connor in the series Viper he was a villian I think many wanted to see more of, including me. He portrayed the character with a dark wit and sense of humor. He seemed to really have fun playing the character and made it seem effortless. He was a "fun" villian.

    He has since done a mix of comedic and dramatic guest roles in series and film that I think leaves viewers wanting to see more of this man.

    I can't help but wonder, what he would have brought to the characters of Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula and Sirus Black in the Harry Potter films (that prompted an online petition to have him cast as the character, yet the casting went to Gary Oldman again). I think he would have been amazing.

    Actor, writer, poet, teacher... hide show

    Jason Carter has recently begun continuing the work started with teaching partner the late Richard Biggs. His acting workshop is always a hit, but he DOES expect you to participate!

    I thought his portrayal of Marcus Cole (Babylon 5) was stunning. He is a talented actor with a distinctive voice. If you're lucky enough to meet Jason, you'll find him to be intelligent, witty and a real charmer.
