Ralph Carter Biography
Ralph Carter (Full name – Ralph David Carter) is an American actor and singer. His career boomed for only 13 years from 1974 to 1987 before he disappeared from the limelight. He is best remembered as Michael Evans on the CBS sitcom Good Times from 1974–1979. He acted as the youngest child of Florida and James Evans. He started his acting career when he was just 9 years old.
He had previously appeared in the Broadway musical Raisin, based on the Lorraine Hansberry drama A Raisin in the Sun before his appearance in the Good Times. Ralph later appeared in the cast of “Ain’t Supposed to Die a Natural Death” for the Classical Theater of Harlem Company in 2005.

Carter was born on May 30, 1961, in New York City, New York, United States. He began his career as an actor on Broadway at the tender age of nine. Carter turns 63 years old in 2023.
Ralph Carter Height
He appears to be relatively short in stature if his photos relative to his surroundings are anything to go by. Carter seems to stand at a height below the American male average of 5′ 7″. However, his exact height and other body measurements are not recorded on any publicly available source at the moment.
Ralph Carter Family
In as much as Carter maybe relatively considered a public figure due to the nature of his work, not much of his personal life is known to the public. This may be attributed to the fact that he was and still is a very private person.
He has always kept his family under the wraps away from the prying eyes of the media. Therefore, there is no information about Carter’s family in terms of his parents or siblings.
Ralph Carter Wife and Kids
Carter got married to River York, his second wife, in 1994. Just like he has maintained his life in secrecy, he has also kept his marriage and family life a secret too. Not much is known about them.
He, however, married his first wife Lisa Parks, in 1987 but they later divorced in 1992. The reason for divorce is not clear. Carter has five children.
Ralph Carter Gay
For a person who has disappeared for so long and one that speaks so little, speculations can be high. There are a lot of speculations about Carter’s sexual orientation, perhaps because he has kept a huge chunk of his personal life secret. However, for a man who has had two marriages (all with someone of the opposite gender) and has five kids, it may be a little absurd to assume he is gay.
Though he has not come out openly to confirm whether he is gay or straight, we think he is straight.
