Radio

In 1937, Carpenter began his professional career on the radio serial Terry and the Pirates. The show was adapted from the comic strip of the same name. Carpenter provided the voice for the main character Terry Lee. He played Curtis Bassett in the radio serial drama Prairie Folks.

Stage

Carpented debuted on Broadway in Eve of St. Mark in 1942. He also played in Inherit the Wind, Sunrise at Campobello and The Andersonville Trial.

Military

As the Second World War started, he enlisted in the United States Army. He became blacklisted due to his support for Philip Loeb, who had been included in Red Channels.

Television

Carpenter worked sporadically between the 1950s and 1970s, making appearances in television series such as The Patty Duke Show, The Defenders, Hawk, Coronet Blue and Great Performances. In later life, he had a small role in Synecdoche, New York, directed by Charlie Kaufman and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, and made recurring appearances on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, playing a 22-year-old man who aged prematurely as a consequence of watching Sean Hannity nightly on Fox News. He provided the voice of Odin Andersson in the video games Alan Wake (2010) and Alan Wake's American Nightmare (2012).

Family

Carpenter lived with actress and screenwriter Jean Rouverol, another former blacklisted artist, for several years.

Death

He died in New Milford, Connecticut in 2014, aged 98, from natural causes.
