What if the role of a lifetime found you when you least expected it?
In this joyful and behind-the-scenes look at Suits LA, we’re joined by actor Carson A. Egan, who has Down syndrome, and his dad Kurc! Playing Eddie Black, the younger brother of Stephen Amell’s character Ted Black, Carson is stepping into the spotlight while bringing his signature humor and heart with him.
But Carson’s path to the screen wasn’t a straight line. From trying out different jobs to becoming the actor producers didn’t know they were waiting for, his story is one of perseverance, personality, and passion. Alongside his dad, Carson reflects on the journey, the friendships he’s built, including an unexpected bond with Stephen Amell, and the lessons he’s learned as a young actor on the rise.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Carson discovered his love for acting
- What made him the perfect fit for Suits LA
- Why he is a director's dream
- The many paths he explored before finding his place in film and TV
- His dream role and who he sees as the greatest actors of our time
