Brent Carver / Biography

Won Broadway's 1993 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for a "Kiss of the Spider Woman--The Musical." He was also nominated in the same category in 1999 for, "Parade."
Dedicated his 1993 Tony award "to Susan" - actress Susan Wright - who died in a house fire two years earlier. At the end of Carver's acceptance speech, he held his award high in defiance proclaiming "death be not proud" in reference, quoting a poem by John Donne. Wright was staying at Carvers own home in Stratford, Ontario (Carver was not present at the time) when a fire broke out that resulted in her death.
