Carter Stevens
Finding
Carter:
The Characters
Kathryn Prescott has the immense
task of playing a girl who has
to relearn her life and reclaim
her identity. Carter is suddenly
confronted with an entire family
of strangers who know her as
Lyndon, her birth name, and the
series follows her evolution
with this new knowledge.
Gabe
Gabe is Carter’s new love interest,
as played by Jesse Henderson on the
show. Gabe is a slightly conflicted
character, as he showed interest in
Taylor before Carter showed up…
Taylor Wilson
Anna Jacoby-Heron plays Carter’s
true twin sister, and the scene
where the two see each other for
the first time is memorable to say
the least. The sisters’ relationship is
tempered, but grows into something
more significant.

Crash
The resident bad boy of the show,
Crash is brought to life by Caleb
Ruminer. He not only deals drugs,
but also is a bad influence on Carter’s
younger birth brother Grant. Carter
seems to have a predilection for
these types, as she also likes Max.
t’s one of those stories that’s so crazy, it has to be
true. Or at least in some part based in reality.
MTV’s ‘Finding Carter’ chronicles the story of a
relatively happy and well-adjusted teen who discovers
- in the space of one day - that her mother is not
her mother, but her abductor, and that she has a
whole other family nearby who haven’t seen her since
she was a toddler. And insanely enough, stories
like this have in fact happened. A breakdown of the
characters follows.

Max
Our interview subject Alex Saxon
plays Max, also a little bit of a
druggie. Max and Carter used to
date, and for the time being have
decided to stay just friends. But only
time will tell…
Ofe
This curiously named character is
played by Jesse Carere. Ofe is one of
Carter’s new friends from her ‘new’
life, part of the crew that is made up
of Gabe, Bird and Crash.
Bird
The wealthy, neglected Bird is
played by Vanessa Morgan. She may
(or may not) be involved with Ofe or
Crash.
