Carter Gill (He/Him)

Carter Gill is an actor, director, and movement instructor living in Dallas and New York where he was a long-time company member with Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More. He’s done a lot of readings and workshops that he never really heard anything about afterward. It be like that. He did actually work with Lincoln Center in the their Comedy Lab and perform at The Lark, The Women’s Project and New Georges, and one time, for 2 years, he co-created an off-broadway Commedia dell’arte show with Frances Black Productions that he was pretty good at. Regionally, he understudied the world premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice at Yale Rep, and thanks to the late great Alan Filderman he performed in the Helen Hayes-nominated Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare Theatre Company and worked with the Berkshire Theatre Festival. On screens, he co-stars in an upcoming “Untitled Spielberg Project” (2026), is a recurring guest star in Harlan Coben’s Shelter (Prime Video), and co-stars in Evil (CBS), Younger (TV Land), Turn: Washington’s Spies (AMC), Person of Interest (CBS), Law & Order (NBC), and Banana Split (Netflix).

To drop some names, he studied Shakespeare and Restoration Comedy for a whole year at the British American Drama Academy (BADA) in England with Lynn Farleigh, Greg Hicks, Fiona Shaw, Alan Rickman, and Norman Ayrton, trained as an actor under Ron Van Lieu at the Yale School of Drama, and then completed a three-year, one-on-one apprenticeship in physical comedy and movement pedagogy with Christopher Bayes. He is currently in training to become a certified Miller Voice Method (mVm) teacher and an IDC-certified intimacy director for live performance.

Selected directing credits include A Doctor in Spite of Himself, Ubu Roi, A Flea in Her Ear, The French Play, Small Mouth Sounds, Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play and The Servant of Two Masters, and Love’s Labour’s Lost — at a bunch of good colleges. His movement direction and intimacy coordination work includes Clue and Our Town at Dallas Theatre Center and Hamlet for Telluride Theatre Company. He is currently a Full-Time Visiting Professor of Acting at Southern Methodist University and has taught on and off for years at Yale School of Drama, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Pace University and Princeton University. He holds a BFA in Directing from Southern Methodist University and an MFA in Acting from Yale School of Drama.
