JACK CARTER
Colin Ferguson

U.S. Marshall Jack Carter is sharp and charming, with a quick wit and a street-smart edge. Dedicated first and foremost to his career, a recent separation from his wife has left him at odds with his teenage daughter Zoe, whose brushes with the law keep Carter nearly as busy as his day job. In fact, Zoe’s latest escapade has Carter transporting her home in his custody when their car crashes outside the town of Eureka.

Born in Montreal, Colin Ferguson grew up in Hong Kong , England , Connecticut and Toronto . He got into improv comedy to make money to put himself through McGill University and was a founding member of Detroit ’s Second City comedy club while attending school.

Ferguson worked in a variety of occupations before he turned to acting full time. He taught high school when he was only 19, planted 3,000 trees a day in Northern Canada and even worked as a mannequin in store windows. When he worked the assembly line at a factory for General Electric (parent company of NBC Universal), he never imagined that he would work for the company again as an actor.

Ferguson ’s feature films include the upcoming Universal movie Because I Said So with Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore, Rowing Through, The Opposite of Sex, Guy in Row Five and The Surprise Party. He was a regular on the NBC remake of the hit British comedy series Coupling and the sitcom Then Came You. His many guest-starring roles include Line of Fire, Malcolm in the Middle, Crossing Jordan, Becker and Titus.

Additionally, he has starred in several telefilms such as Mom at 16, We Were the Mulvaney’s, Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber, Ladies Night, More Tales of the City and Playing House.

Ferguson’s love of travel has taken him to exotic destinations in Turkey, Morocco, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Cuba, Iceland, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos and Singapore. He hopes to make future trips to India and Africa .
