Clarification of Question by carolfergie-ga on 02 Feb 2005 04:18 PST

I think it's got to be someone really famous bearing in mind the level
of quiz the question has come from.  John Kincade (as well as not
being known as "Johnny") just doesn't seem famous enough.  Thanks for
trying, though!

Johnny Cash's third child is called "Johnny Carter Cash".

Noah Wyle plays on ER a doctor named "John Carter"

There's an actor called John Hensley, whose birthname is John Carter Hensley.

Could this be him?

eyes. His character and courtesy exemplified the ideals of the
ante-bellum South (the southern U.S. states just before the American
Civil War). A Virginian who served as a captain in the Civil War, he
struck it rich by finding gold in Arizona after the war..."

"Johnny Carter" was the name given to a fictional charcter expressly
based on the life of the great saxophonist Charlie Parker (otherwise
known as "Bird":

Paris, Johnny Carter?a fictional Bird. The story is prefaced: "Be thou
faithful unto death" (Revelation). In memoriam, Ch.P."
