[edit] Early Life
Carlos’ first career in the entertainment industry was as a DJ. Spinning records in San Francisco’s nightclubs, he quickly became one of the city’s prominent DJs, befriending musical acts such as Grace Jones and the late Divine. Leaving music for a career in theatre and television, his work eventually led to a stint as an artist in residence at Cornell University.

Carlos is perhaps best known for starring in the show SAL, originally produced at the Climate Theatre in San Francisco then at the Zephyr Theatre in Hollywood. His portrayal of Sal Mineo, co-produced and co-written by him, received a Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award nomination for Best Solo Performance.
Since then, he has continued acting in television, both on-camera (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and in animation voice-over (Justice League, Spawn). He is especially proud of his work with director John Landis and alongside personal heroes Jerry Lewis, Harvey Fierstein and the late Dudley Moore.
A lifelong comic book fan and well known for his work in award-winning video games (Tony Hawk's American Wasteland), Ferro played the X-Man Forge in the game X-Men: Next Dimension, a Peruvian villain in the game James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing alongside stars Pierce Brosnan, Willem Dafoe and Shannon Elizabeth, as well as a Colombian drug lord in Scarface: The World is Yours and starred as the Colombian drug connection for the Los Carnales in Saints Row. In the Xbox 360 video game Gears of War, Ferro performs the role of Dominic Santiago. He also voices the Damascus Bureau Leader in the game Assassin's Creed.
