Appearance: Carter can be, at first first glance, a bit intimidating to most. He's rather tall, standing at six feet and two and a half inches with a good amount of muscle tone, though he doesn't look like a body builder. His eyes a mixture of hazel green and light brown, depending upon the light. His hair is short and messy, but it's also thick and straight with a brownish-light blondish tint to it. Carter doesn't smile much, as his history is rather rocky and turbulent, therefore he's very cautious. However, around his little boy and his girlfriend, he's all smiles.


Personality: Carter is, upon first glance, a bit intimidating. He doesn't smile all that often except when in the company of his little boy Matthew and his girlfriend Nina, as well as her adopted children. He is a cautious man, always scoping out the situation before he even think about doing something. However, once you get past his "tough" exterior, he is incredibly sweet, caring, intelligent, funny and loyal. He's not the type of person to give in easily and is quite stubborn and head strong. Well, unless Matthew (or Nina) wants something, as he is very close to his son, even more so after Carter's wife died three years ago.
Likes: Matthew, Nina, her family, coaching football, thunderstorms, eating (anything sweet will do)
Dislikes: When Matthew cries, extremely hot weather, liars, gossips, arrogant people
Fears: Losing Matthew or Nina, loosing his job and being unable to provide for his family
Goals: To become a better father to Matthew, a better boyfriend to Nina and to make the show a success.

History:
Carter Isaiah Langdon was born in small town Drake, Texas to Alan and Etta Langdon on a rainy day on March 1, thirty years ago. He was the only child to the modestly wealthy couple and grew up with a sense of humility instilled into him by his father, a priest of the local church and his mother, an English teacher at the local community college. Growing up in the small town, Carter did what most of the boys did: he went fishing, played football, was in the boy scouts and was in his father's youth group at church, though nowadays Carter isn't exactly the most religious person in the world.

At the age of nineteen, Carter fell madly in love with the "girl next door" named Marissa. Several months later, Marissa found herself pregnant and the two decided that marriage would be the best thing for the child. Nine months later, Marissa gave birth to a beautiful baby boy that they named Matthew, after her deceased father, though Carter likes to call his son "Mattie". Unfortunately for Carter and Marissa, the marriage fizzled and when Carter was twenty-three, he was a single father and a divorcee. Finding a job at his former high school as the gym teacher, he slowly found his way up the "teaching ladder" and was promoted to head coach of the football team of the school thanks to his work ethic and his no-nonsense ways.

Three years ago, Carter received a call late at night saying that his ex-wife had been killed and that Matthew would now be coming back to Drake to live with him. Focusing on raising Matthew to the best of his abilities, he put his love life on the back burner. However, he found a friend in follow single parent, Nina Rhodes and the two have been dating for several months now. Luck was still proving to be on his side when a new television show came to town. Simply because Carter was the right age, he found that he had been cast as the "father" of the show.


Anything Else: Doesn't really want to be an actor, but the money is good and he's doing it mainly to have a bigger income for Matthew, seeing as how coaching and teaching doesn't exactly pay all the bills.

RP Sample:
Hearing the alarm go off beside his bed, Carter rolled over onto his left side, quieting the alarm. He so desperately wanted to stay in bed, as it was Saturday, but he knew Mattie would probably be up in his room already. Carter loved his little boy more than anything in the world, but sometimes he simply wished that he could sleep in on Saturdays, like he used to.

Quickly putting on a pair of gym shorts and a plain red t-shirt, he walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of hot coffee for himself, adding a liberal amount of creamer and sugar. He was never really a coffee drinker, but the caffeine was the only reason why he bought the stuff. Suddenly, whilst sipping his coffee, he heard a loud bang from Matthew's room. Running into the room, he stopped short and chuckled.

"Mattie boy, you know that beds are not trampolines, right?" Carter asked his son as he put the cup on his dresser and walked over to him, helping him off the ground. "You okay, buddy?" he asked Matthew, looking into the boy's eyes as he wanted to see what kind of hair-brained explanation his son would come up with.
