He told CBS Carr that he purchased his home in the area at an auction with money he earned working as a stunt double. “Pretty much every time I got hit by a car, I put it in a separate account,” he said in a 2019 interview.ย 

In addition to his work teaching theater, he was also a board member of Chicago SAG-AFTRA. Carr worked alongside the company’s president at TOSAC, Pat Orr. The program had four courses that required students to work their way up through the courses. “We’re trying to get these talented people all of the skills they could possibly build to get them into a great conservatory program in college,” Orr said. “All of our curriculum is cumulative.”
