Lisa Nicole Carson was born as a daughter of a kindergarten teacher mother and a journalist professor father, who worked at the University of Florida. Lisa grew up in Gainesville, Florida, where she went to the F. W. Buchholz High School, from where she matriculated in 1987. During her high school days, Carson participated as a singer in the “America’s Junior Miss” talent show, being runner-up for the Gainesville region. However, she decided to pursue an acting career instead of in singing.

Lisa debuted in an episode of the Golden Globe Award-nominated series “Law & Order” in 1991, while in 1992 she appeared in an episode of the Golden Globe Award-winning “The Cosby Show”, and in “The Apollo Comedy Hour”. Carson starred in her feature film debut “Let’s Get Bizzee” (1993), and had a role in “Jason’s Lyric” (1994) alongside Allen Payne, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Bokeem Woodbine.

By the end of the ‘90s, Lisa also had roles in the Oscar-nominated comedy called “Life” (1999) starring Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and Obba Babatundé, and then in a Primetime Emmy Award-nominated mini-series “Aftershock: Earthquake in New York” (1999).

After “Ally McBeal” ended, Carson had a break from acting for ten years, when she retreated to New York to receive treatment for her bipolar disorder. She returned in an episode of the Primetime Emmy Award-winning “Harry’s Law” in 2012, and at the moment she is working on a new series – “The New Edition Story” (2017).
