He has made occasional television appearances and starred in his own reality shows, House of Carters and I (Heart) Nick Carter. He gained fame in the mid 1990s and early 2000s as a teen idol. He is also the older brother of singer Aaron Carter and the late Leslie Carter.
Nickolas Gene Carter was born in Jamestown, New York, where his parents, Jane Elizabeth Schneck (née Spaulding, previously Carter) and Robert Gene Carter (1952-2017), owned a bar called the Yankee Rebel.

Carter began his acting and singing career at a young age, when his mother enrolled him in voice lessons and dance lessons in ballet and tap at Karl and DiMarco's School of Theatre and Dance when he was 10.
