beau griffith was born on july 7, 1993, in apple valley, california, to parents dean griffith, a blue collar worker and desiree griffith ( née tuckett ), unemployed. the couple only had beau together, providing instead a total of four half - siblings and two step - siblings with different partner over the course of their tumultuous relationship. while they chased and fled each other on and off, beau and his half - siblings were all left to fend for themselves. his childhood was filled with the good and the bad — the good came during times of reconciliation, when the pair found their way back to each other and favored their shared son. the bad came when they found conflict once again, dragging beau into the center of it as if he were the rope in their game of tug of war. they favored their other children during the intense moments because beau was a reminder of the other, and they gaslighted and manipulated him in an attempt to gain the upper hand in their fights. with the constant tensions at home and a need for escape, it was no surprise when he began running with the wrong crowd. he and his friends, from the time they reached middle school, completed little heists for money. these “ heists ” as the group called them, were simply petty thefts — pickpocketing wallets & watches + swiping items from stores & residences. in the tenth grade and, following another highly reactive and violent confrontation between his parents, beau agreed to take it to the next level and took part in the car theft of their principal. that same night he and two of his friends were caught and arrested for the crime.

beau went on to serve three months in juvenile detention, given this was his first sentence and he got off on a misdemeanor charge. this was his first of two sentences during his adolescence. the second came nearly a year later and he was placed in juvenile detention for sixteen months. following this sentence, beau returned home to an empty house. with the desire for a clean slate, beau got his GED, a minimum wage job, and took what was left of his belongings to move into a rundown apartment in the city.

acting happened by chance. beau had met a friend in a pub one night that told him he had the bearings for it. while he laughed off the comment in the moment, when he returned home that same night, he couldn’t stop thinking about it — not because he had a desire for a career in hollywood but rather, because he felt like it would be a chance to prove himself, to get back at his parents for the way they treated him. so, that’s what he did. from that moment forward, he legally started going by his middle name carter. beginning first with commercials, some of which were and still are highly embarrassing to look back on, but through this work he landed a modelling gig and then, as if life was finally granting him a big fucking break, he landed the role on his first television series “ hillmore women. ”

due to a huge lack of experience and skill in acting, carter only had one acting credit in his career during his early twenties and that was as jake marono. he sought out tips from his castmates and began taking classes that would boost his skills and career. his rise in the industry has been slow and has hardly allowed him a chance to transcend from his shitty little apartment, but he no longer takes anything for granted. it was only within the past two years or so that carter started landed other roles, his biggest to date was in the newest batman film as the riddler / edward nashton ( nygma ). yet, with a past like his, there are hardly any happy endings because just as he finally managed to pay off his debts, one from the past made its return once the name carter griffith began to grow in popularity more and more across the country. old friends caught wind of his success and rising bank accounts, and have started showing up at his place demanding hospitality and repayment for the night he crashed the vehicle and landed each of them in jail.

○ mentors — inspired by the following dynamic , tom holland & robert downey jr. ( basically actors that took him under their wing and helped him out behind the scenes ).

○ confidant — the only person that he confides in , the person that was there when his past sentences made headlines at the onset of his career. this person guided him through it emotionally.

○ future pr relationship — their teams are currently ✨ manifesting ✨ it so it’s a stay tuned for drama type of energy.

○ best friend — inspired by the following dynamic , damon salvatore & alaric saltzman ( the first friend he made in the city + the person that encouraged him to try acting. now they’re bffs and would die for each other idk. broody drinks at bars ).

○ someone that can’t take him seriously — he’s got a bad past and arguably no talent when he came into the business, he’s just a pretty face landing roles. so hate on him.

○ someone he desperately tries to impress — similar to the last connection except this one is carter trying to prove himself to them because he needs reassurance and also ? maybe he was / is a fan.

○ close friends — inspired by the following dynamics , literally all the squads in fave shows.

○ one night stands / hook - ups / friends with benefits — he’s a bit of a man whore so !

○ the one person he’s just in love with high key because he doesn’t try to hide it literally one single bit — inspired by the following dynamics , chuck & blair ( gossip girl ) + nate & serena ( gossip girl ) + stiles & lydia ( teen wolf ) + seth & summer ( the oc ) + joey & pacey ( dawson’s creek ).

and i’m open to any other ideas!
