Terry Carter Autographs
John Everett DeCoste (December 16, 1928 – April 23, 2024), known professionally as Terry Carter, was a pioneering black American actor and filmmaker, known for his roles as Sgt. Joe Broadhurst on the television series McCloud and as Colonel Tigh on the original Battlestar Galactica.
Carter was born and raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, and lived beside a synagogue in a mostly Italian neighborhood. Raised in a bilingual home, his mother, Mercedes, was a native of the Dominican Republic, and his father, William DeCoste, was of Argentinian and African-American descent who operated a radio repair business. His parents raised him to engage on social issues. With his father, he first walked a picket line at age 8.
Future jazz pioneer Cecil Taylor was his best friend. At age 9, in his first on-stage role, he played the seafaring Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama.
