Lisa Nicole Carson has the distinction of having simultaneously starred
in television's most lauded comedy and drama series. She has both
amused audiences as Renee Radick, the D.A. roommate of Calista Flockhart on Fox's
Ally McBeal (1997) and riveted them as Carla Reese, the mother of Eriq La Salle's son on
NBC's ER (1994). Carson has been repeatedly nominated for a variety of
awards as a result of these credits. Additional forays into television
include the series Divas (1995) and guest turns on Law & Order (1990), as well as the
telefilm Aftershock: Earthquake in New York (1999). Her feature credits are just as impressive. Among her
many roles are the comedy Life (1999) with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, the
temptress in Eve's Bayou (1997) with Samuel L. Jackson, Love Jones (1997) with Larenz Tate, Devil in a Blue Dress (1995) with
Denzel Washington and Jason's Lyric (1994) with Jada Pinkett Smith. Born in Brooklyn, and having spent
her teen years in Gainesville, Florida - graduating from Buchholz High
School in June 1987 - Lisa moved to New York City after graduation to
live with her grandmother and pursue an acting career. She is a recent
transplant to Los Angeles. In addition to acting, she is also an
accomplished vocalist.
