After touring the country with the Spartan Players, Carry joined the Chicago Actors Repertory Company, performing with them for four years. Afterwards, Carry stayed in Chicago, "basically getting into no good", he told writer Marc Shapiro. He attended Quincy College, but only for one year. His family encouraged him to move to California and live with uncle in Los Angeles to "get back on feet."
Once in Los Angeles, Carry entered Loyola Marymount University, where he received a bachelors degree in film and TV production. He stayed at the university, and completed a master's degree in communication arts.
