Glenn Carter

Glenn Carter (born 27 March 1964) is an English stage actor and singer-songwriter performing leading roles in musicals staged in London's West End. He is a longtime leader of the British branch of the international UFO religion, the Raëlian Movement.

Carter was born in Staffordshire, England and grew up in Connah's Quay. He trained at the Arts Educational School in London.

Carter has appeared on London's West End stages in musical productions such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Chess, Whistle Down the Wind, and Les Misérables. In 2008, Carter took up the role of "Tommy DeVito" in the London premiere of the musical, Jersey Boys, a part which he continued to play until March 2010.

Carter has been cast as Jesus in several productions of Jesus Christ Superstar. In 1996, 23 years after the closure of the original production of Jesus Christ Superstar, the Really Useful Theatre Company revived the show in the West End, in which Carter replaced Steve Balsamo as Jesus. In 1998, Really Useful mounted a touring production in the UK which did not include Carter in any of the leading roles. In 1999, Really Useful planned to tour North America with the production, but eventually curtailed the tour to just Broadway. Carter was again cast as Jesus in this production. In 2004/2005, Carter toured the UK for six months in the lead role as 'Jesus' in the new UK touring production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
