John E. Carson
"The Fat Knight" (Sir William Morgan)
John E. Carson was born in Las Vegas, but grew up in Mesquite, NV. John was always the class clown, but it wasn't until high school that the acting bug bit. During high school, John was in over 20 performances, several of which garnered awards, such as "Best Acting" two years in a row and was also elected President of The International Thespian Society for that area. After high school, John didn't do much acting, though performing was still in his blood. John met up with a group who taught him bass guitar, and for the next few years, John was the bass player in the band Wakk-A-Mole. John has since returned to Las Vegas, and acting. His first acting gig was Insurgo's first (And then second, as well as third.) production of Cannibal! The Musical. Since then, John has gotten married (Note: The wife would like it to be known that most of John's jokes are hers.), and has performed small parts in several local movies as well as a lead in the feature film Running 4 President. "I am very lucky to be where I am at today. I've done everything I've ever wanted to do in life, and to be able to perform and make people happy, makes me happy. It's selfish, but I can live with that."
