Carman was born in California and raised in San Antonio, Texas, the son of an Italian-American father and a Thai mother. Growing up as an Air Force brat allowed him to experience life in many cities across the country and the world. He received a BFA from Texas Christian University and an MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Carman arrived on the NYC theater scene via a production of Edward Hall's "Rose Rage: Henry the 6th Parts 1, 2, 3" which transferred from Chicago, winning both the Bayfield and Joseph Jefferson Awards for his performance as Henry. His notable New York theater credits include playing the Vicomte de Valvert opposite Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner in "Cyrano" on Broadway (and PBS), and in Bedlam Theatre Company's hailed production, Sense and Sensibility as Colonel Brandon.
