Carl was a young boy in Chichester, NH until the family moved to Gilmanton Iron Works, another town in the same state. His parents are Sherm and Millie Stevens, both from the state of Maine. According to his parents he was the 'creative' one of their many children. Acting started early for him beginning in his home with an ever present audience. Basically the motivation for his performances at home seemed to be an attempt to make family members laugh. In fact a game was invented called "Make me laugh" in which the siblings were arranged in a circle and each one took a turn in the center trying to get giggles out of the rest. For some this had tragic results. Carl, who had invented the game, did rather well. His teen aged years took him to Massachusetts. Eventually he traveled Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, South America, sailed across the Atlantic and became educated in Poland. At college he involved himself in theatre and talent shows as well as local concerts. As a vocalist he has performed on many stages throughout Europe. He ended up living in Baltimore, Maryland, where he attended auditions for local theatre. His first role there was as Jonesy in "Side Man", which got him a good review. Other roles followed. He had a solo vocal part as a muleteer in "The Man of La Mancha" at the Vagabond Theatre in Baltimore. It was in Maryland that he landed roles with local film makers and started creating his own movies. He is an award winning film maker having taken kudos at local short film festivals. Local film Director Kevin Kangas gave him a sizable role as Leon in Garden of Hedon (2011). For The Suffering (2016) he was required to loose a sizable amount of weight (which he did not have) in order to fit the character description "... rail thin creature." His back is shown on the poster. He also plays the butler in the same movie directed by Robert Hamilton. A film director in Philadelphia, Christian Grillo, met him during an interview for another locally produced film and asked him to be Travis in Apocalypse Kiss (2014).
