Trivia

He is a Godfather of Gillian Anderson and Clyde Klotz s daughter Piper Maru.

Has considered titling his eventual and as-yet-unwritten autobiography "Fridays At Nine," the timeslot for the shows hes created, due to their mix of successes and failures.

His brother, W. Craig Carter, is a Full Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT.

Two of his attempts for crossovers with other television shows failed for the same reasons. The first attempt was to crossover "The X Files" with CBSs "Picket Fences" , however, CBS feared losing ratings to the newer network. The second attempt was to crossover with the WBs "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" , but Fox also feared losing ratings to the newer network. In both cases, each shows executive producer was on board: David E. Kelley and Joss Whedon respectively.

Pitched "The X Files" to Brandon Tartikoff at NBC, but Tartikoff turned it down.

Under tremendous time crunch, Carter did an all-night audio mix session to finish "The X Files" pilot, which was to be shown to Fox executives the following morning. That night, he ended up sleeping on a couch in the Fox Studios lobby.

Lives in Santa Barbara, California.

New Zealands first openly gay MP, and first openly gay member of Cabinet. His partner is a school principal.

Played college football at Fresno State.

Quotes

The day I swan around in expensive suits is the day I hope someone puts,a bullet in my head.

It takes crazy attention to detail if you want something to be good.

The television business changed a lot from when I did,"The X Files" (1993) to when we did "Harsh Realm" (1999) .

Hunter let go of JJ who started dusting his jacket with both hands. ‘Look at what you’ve done to my suit man, these things don’t come cheap you know. ’ Garcia checked his pocket change. ‘Here. ’ He extended his hand towards JJ. ‘A dollar ninety-five. Go buy another one.

Fuck you! Someone has tortured and killed one of your girls and you couldn’t give a damn? I thought you were supposed to protect them, to be their guardian. Isn’t that what pimps do?’ Garcia’s face flared red.

Really? We always have a choice, do we? What about the choices that other people make that end up completely changing your life, not theirs? Where is our choice there, then?,What makes you think I’d know this woman?’ Hunter knew what he was trying to do. ‘Listen, P-Diddy . . . ’ ‘D-King . . . ’ ‘Whatever.

We’ve got DNA tests; we can convict someone by his saliva. Hell, if the killer had farted in that house the forensic team would probably have some gadget that could pick it up. How can the crime scenes be so clean?,To start with, the overwhelming majority of serial killers are male,’ Hunter explained. ‘Female serial killers have a tendency to kill for monetary profit. While that can also be true their male counterparts, it’s very unlikely. Sexual reasons top the list for male serial killers. Case studies have also shown that female killers generally kill people close to them, such as husbands, family members, or people dependent on them. Males kill strangers more often. Female serial killers also tend to kill more quietly, with poison or other less violent methods, like suffocation. Male serial killers, on the other hand, show a greater tendency to include torture or mutilation as part of the process of killing. When women are implicated in sadistic homicides, they’ve usually acted in partnership with a man.

He’s my new partner JJ and I don’t think he likes you very much. Last guy he took a dislike to still can’t eat anything more solid than yogurt. ’ ‘Can’t you keep him on a leash?’ ‘Sure I can. The leash is in the car. I’ll go get it. You guys will be OK by yourselves for ten minutes or so, right?,Learning to fly an airplane taught me a way of thinking, an approach to problem-solving that was applicable and effective. Pilots are very methodical and meticulous, and artists tend not to be.
