What Is Terrence C. Carson's Net Worth?

Terrence C. Carson, also known as 'T.C.' Carson, is an American actor, singer, dancer, and producer who has a net worth of $2 million. Terrence C. Carson is best known for starring as Kyle Barker on the Fox series "Living Single" (1993–1998) and voicing Kratos in the video game series "God of War" (2005–2013) and Mace Windu on the computer-animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (2008–2014; 2020). Terrence has released the albums "Truth" (2002), "Live in Beverly Hills" (2014), and "My Funny Valentine" (2015), and he has performed in musicals such as "The Wiz" and "Dreamgirls." In 1988, he won a Joseph Jefferson Award for Actor in a Revue for his performance in a Chicago production of "The Colored Museum."

From 1993 to 1998, he starred as Kyle Barker on Fox's "Living Single" alongsideQueen Latifah,Kim Coles,Erika Alexander, andKim Fields. Terrence was a series regular during the first four seasons, but he was barely in the show's final season.

In 1997, ahead of their third season, the"Friends" cast members negotiated yet another raise to $75,000 per episode, which would work out toaround $1.9 million per season. Presumably, that was much, much more than the "Living Single" actors were earning by this point and was the straw the broke the camel's back for T.C. Carson and the show's producers… who bore the brunt of his complaints.

Terrence C. Carson was born Terrence Connor Carson on November 19, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois. He was raised by a single mother, and they lived in the Chicago Housing Authority's LeClaire Courts projects. Terrence studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, where he majored in architecture and creative design and joined the Iota Phi Theta Fraternity.

Carson made his television debut in the 1989 TV movie "A Mother's Courage: The Mary Thomas Story," then he appeared in the films "Livin' Large!" (1991) and "Firehawk" (1993) and played Abednigo 'JoJo' Nabuli on the Fox series "Key West" (1993).

In the first season each"Friends" actor made $22,500 per episode, which worked out to around$540,000 for the season. In the second season, the"Friends" salaries were boosted to $40,000. It's not known what the "Living Single" actors' per episode salaries were at this point, but we can infer it was not as much as their "Friends" counterparts, which had been a source of frustrating for Terrence and his cast mates.

Decades later Terrence revealed that his reduction in screen-time in the final season was due to a clash with show's producers over salary. Since the debut of "Living Single" Terrence had periodically represented the cast when they shared a complaint. One of their biggest complaints had to do with their respective salaries. Even after becoming a hit for Fox, Terrence and his cast mates were not earning the same amounts per episode as other white actors on equal or even less successful shows. To make matters worse, just one year after "Living Single" debuted, "Friends" began filming on the sound stage immediately next door on the Warner Bros. lot.

Carson co-produced the 2007 TV movie "Polly and Marie," and he has more than 100 acting credits to his name, including the films "Livin' Large" (1991), "Gang Related" (1997), "U-571" (2000), and "Final Destination 2" (2003) and the television series "Key West" (1993), "TheJamie FoxxShow" (1999), "Half & Half" (2005), "Greenleaf" (2017), and "Last Call" (2019). Terrence has also lent his voice to the film "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" (2016), the TV shows "Life with Louie" (1995–1998), "Afro Samurai" (2007), and "The Life & Times of Tim" (2008; 2010), and numerous videogames, such as "Star Trek: Klingon Academy" (2000), "Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds" (2002), "EverQuest II" (2004), "Saints Row" (2006), "Eragon" (2006), and "BioShock Infinite" (2013).

In summary, the total wealth of Terrence C. Carson reflects strategic moves.
