Julius J. Carry III (March 12, 1952 – August 19, 2008) was an American actor. He is perhaps best known for playing the character Sho'Nuff in the cult film The Last Dragon. He made his acting debut in the 1979 movie Disco Godfather starring Rudy Ray Moore. He also acted in the films World Gone Wild and The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh.

Carry grew up in the Lake Meadows neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. He attended Hales Franciscan High School, where, at age 15, he joined the Spartan Players, an acting group. He discovered a love of acting with the group, performing in plays such as Hamlet and West Side Story. After touring the country with the Spartan Players, Carry joined the Chicago Actors Repertory Company, performing with them for four years. Afterwards, Carry stayed in Chicago, "basically getting into no good", he told writer Marc Shapiro. He attended Quincy College, but only for one year. His family encouraged him to move to California and live with uncle in Los Angeles to "get back on [his] feet."
