Ralph Carter (born May 30, 1961 in New York City) is an American actor.
Carter is best known for his work as a child and teenager, both in the Broadway musical Raisin (based on the Lorraine Hansberry drama A Raisin in the Sun) and as the character Michael Evans, the youngest member of the Evans family, on the 1970s sitcom Good Times. For his work in Raisin, Carter was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical). After Good Times, Carter has appeared in both Broadway and off-Broadway plays.
On June 28, 2006, Carter appeared at the BET Awards in a mini-Good Times reunion, joining former cast members Jimmie Walker(J.J.), Bern Nadette Stanis (Thelma) and Janet Jackson (Penny) in playing their respective roles. One well-received moment was when Walker and Stanis began arguing on-stage as their characters normally did on the sitcom, which sent laughter throughout the crowd. The reunion did not include John Amos (James) — although Amos has remained friendly with the cast, appearing in other Good Times reunion events — nor Ja'net Du Bois (Willona Woods). Cast member Esther Rolle (Florida) had passed away in 1998. The entire surviving original cast (including Johnny Brown who portrayed Bookman) appeared together at the 2006 TV Land Awards at the Barker Hangar on March 19, 2006 in Santa Monica, California
