Here we go. Mind you, I could have put everthing I've ever done on this résumé but, well, no. ​Too long and nobody cares, right? So, for the most part, I've tried to stick to roles I can still play. Don't forget that posted below the résumé are excerpts from some of my many brilliant notices.​ So keep scrolling down. You don't want to miss them.

DON'T MISS THESE QUOTES FROM REVIEWS OF MANY OF THE SHOWS I'VE DONE:
Joe Di Pietro's The Last Romance, Ivoryton Playhouse, Ivoryton, CT.​
"Ralph is played by the terrific Chet Carlin.
Talkin' Broadway
"Chet Carlin is a pleasure to watch."
The Connecticut Critics Circle
Twelve Angry Men, Florida Rep, Ft. Myers, FL
"Director Charles Morey assembled an ace cast full of vivid characters and finely shaded acting."
The News Press
"Chet Carlin as Juror No. 9 plays an endearing older man who at one point, itching to get into a fight, mutters, 'Id like to
be a little younger!'"
Fort Myers Florida Weekly
My Fair Lady Forestburgh Playhouse, Forestburgh, NY
"Carlin's refreshing and humorous turn as Pickering offers the audience the opportunity to truly appreciate the character's
voice of reason, amidst the ridiculous demands the Higgins places on the heroine."
The River Reporter
Tennis in Nablus Stageworks, Hudson NY
“Chet Carlin takes on two very different roles: British General Falbour, the comic relief of the play and Hajj Waleed, an Arab
merchant and confidante of Anbara. As the officer he is prototypically silly. As Hajj he presents a classic picture of the wily
middle-easterner, a “Kismet” character. He succeeds in both roles.”
Berkshire Bright Focus
​A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum Riverside Theatre, Vero Beach, Florida
"Chet Carlin has some of the funniest walk through scenes ever done anywhere.
Planet Vero.com
"Carlin's walk-on are the stuff others will want to imitate."
Brevard​​​​​ Culture
The Glass Cage ​The Mint Theatre, Off Broadway
"Chet Carlin delivers a fine turn as Dr. Gratton, the family physician."
New York Times
"Chet Carlin brought vigor, interest and empathy to the central role of the family Dr. Gratton.
dctheatrescene.org
The Count of Monte Cristo The Alabama Shakespeare Festival
"In 1822, tunneling to escape, Abbe Faria (impressive, articulate Chet Carlin) finds his neighbor prisoner, Edmond Dantes."
Aisle Say-Alabama
Of Mice and Men The Cleveland Playhouse & Studio Arena Theatre, Buffalo, NY
“As Candy, Chet Carlin gives us a lovable old codger who shines particularly in a scene where he must abandon the dream
he shared with George and Lenny.”
The Buffalo News
Waiting for Godot Two River Theatre, Redbank, NJ
“As the hapless servant Lucky, Chet Carlin is at once pitiful and confounding. He shivers in his boots, he lashes out at Gogo,
he writhes on the ground. He waxes poetic, a la James Joyce.”
New York Times ​
1776 The Pioneer Theater, Utah
"1776 is patriotic in the deepest sense.... Richard Thomson, Chet Carlin [as Charles Thomson, Congressional Secretary] and
Richard Mathews stand out in the supporting cast."
The Salt Lake Observer
Shift Change by Ben Carlin Producers' Club II, NYC
“Chet Carlin is a delight to watch…. With tremendous ability, the transition from a bumbling old man to a calculating
mastermind is tackled seamlessly.”
washingtonsquare.com
​
Fiddler on the Roof National Tour​
“So, all we need to be happy is a good cast around [Theodore Bikel], and this national tour has one…. Michael Iannucci’s
Motel, Miriam Babin’s Yente, and the funny little Rabbi by Chet Carlin are as good as you should expect.”
The Providence Journal
Cliffhanger Bristol Riverside Theatre
“Chet Carlin’s trusting, idealistic, avuncular Henry Lowenthal and Jo Ann Cunningham’s cynical, practical, steely Polly are a
nicely matched pair of contrasts.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer​
Pajama Game The Goodspeed Opera House
"This revival also boasts soft-voiced Chet Carlin as Babe's sweet old railroader, stamp-collecting dad..."
The Hartford Courant​
King Lear Oberon Theatre Company-Jan Hus Playhouse, NYC
“Lear is created forcefully by Chet Carlin in all his kingly and mad dimensions.”
nytheatre.com
“Chet Carlin as Lear…evoked unfolding, sensitive fear and despair upon realizing his daughters were abandoning him.”
Stage Press Weekly​
Camelot Barter Theatre, VA
“Carlin [as Pelinore] plays the public like a maestro of the cello.”
Abington Press
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum Paper Mill Playhouse, NJ
“The hilarious Chet Carlin is a stitch as the ancient Erronius.”
New Jersey Record
Breaking Legs Totem Pole Playhouse, PA
“Chet Carlin is hilarious as the head of the local mob and the real star of this performance.”
The Journal
The Voysey Inheritance The Mint Theatre, Off Broadway
“And as for George Booth, the family friend who brings down the house of Voysey, there is not a sillier more delightful
or vapid ninny in the literature and Chet Carlin plays him as though he owns the part - as, for now, he deserves to.
New York Times
Guys & Dolls North Shore Music Theatre, MA
"...Chet Carlin is gentle and endearing in his Irish brogue as Sarah's uncle and fellow missionary, making 'More I Cannot Wish
You' a quiet hit in the show."
Boston Globe
Angel Street Stagewest, Springfield, MA.
“Chet Carlin has the really plum role and doesn't waste the opportunity…. The character and performance raise the play's
pace and spirits."
Springfield Advocate
​
​My Fair Lady Theatre Under The Stars, Houston, TX​
“Chet Carlin’s comic bits and lines [as Pickering] are among those that bring the biggest laughs within the show.”
Houston Voice
Twelfth Night The 45th Street Theater, NYC
“Chet Carlin's Malvolio is a wonderfully simpering fellow all vanity and hurt pride.”
The New York Times
As You Like It Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival Pittsburgh, PA
“Chet Carlin's Touchstone is old-trouper crisp, his randiness downplayed but his twinkle and verbal agility in fine fettle.”
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Hamlet Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival Pittsburgh, PA
“Bravo for Chet Carlin who gives a fine, consistent performance as a meddling, fuss-budgety Polonius.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
