Social Media

Despite being in the entertainment field, Carter isn’t active on any social media, which makes it hard for people to keep up with him. However, he still has a lot of supporters who write about him, with one person sharing a photo of him and his colleagues from “Good Times”, with the caption reading “”Good Times,” the spinoff of “Maude” that was TV’s first African-American two-family sitcom starring Ester Rolle, John Amos and Jimmie Walker, began its six season run on CBS on this date in 1974.”

Relationship Status and Husband

He isn’t keen on sharing too much with the media, and prefers privacy and secrecy. In 1987, he married Lisa Parks, but their marriage was short lived, as they divorced in 1992. However, Ralph found love again, and married River York in 1994. The couple is still together as of today, and they’re seemingly living a happy and prosperous life together.

Career

Carter made his acting debut in 1974, when he joined the cast of “Good Times”, in which he played the role of Michael Evans. Working on the mentioned series, he had a chance to work with actors such as Ja’net DuBois, BernNadette Stanis, Jimmie Walker and Esther Rolle. “Good Times” follows the story of a poor family that makes the best of things in their Chicago housing project, and it received a generally positive response, being nominated for three Golden Globe awards and winning one Impact Award.

Good Times

“Good Times”, Carter’s most prominent project, is an American TV series that was broadcast on CBS, created by Eric Monte and Mike Evans and developed by Norman Lear. “Good Times” is a spinoff of “Maude”, as its characters originated in that show – the main character, Florida, was employed as Maude Findlay’s housekeeper in that series. When it comes to the reception of the series, its high ratings speak for themselves and due to that factor, CBS renewed the program in 1974. Throughout its first season, “Good Times” was the seventh highest rated program and more than 25% of all American households watched an episode each week. The series is also acclaimed for portraying the lives of African-American people.

Latter Career and Other TV Projects

Ralph didn’t stay focused on acting for too long, and his only TV or cinematic gig after “Good Times” was “Donny’s House”. Starring in it, Ralph worked with Edwene Bey, Paul Harris and Frederick B. Owens. “Donny’s House” used music and dance to share an anti-drug message to young audiences. As of Ralph’s other TV appearances, those included “The Mike Douglas Show”, “The 28th Annual Tony Awards”, “American Bandstand”, “The Merv Griffin Show” and eventually “Face of Darkness: Journey to Healing”. The latter documentary movie was released in 2014 and focused on spreading awareness of depression in African American males.

Music Career

In addition to being an actor, Ralph is also a singer and in that field, he released singles and EPs, such as “Extra! Extra! (Lea Acerca De Esto)”, “A Song In My Heart” and “Get It Right”. In 1975, he released the album entitled “Young and in Love”, consisted of 10 tracks such as “Headin’ Back To Love Again”, “As Long As There’s Love (We’re Gonna Make It)” and “When You’re Young And In Love”. The album was released by Mercury label. Overall, Carter was able to rise to fame and get his own place under the spotlight as the result of his hard work. “I’ve had a lot of doors slammed in my face as an adult. But that’s OK. I can deal with that. I’m not the first person who has been told no.” Nowadays, he seems to be living a peaceful life away from the media.
