Colonel Tigh



Terry Carter




Terry Carter is the professional name of John E. DeCoste, born in Brooklyn, New York on December 16, 1928, the only child of William and Mercedes DeCoste. Terry's mother was a native of the Dominican Republic. His father was American born, of Argentine and African-American descent. Terry's parents taught him Spanish as well as English as a child. Growing up in a bilingual, bicultural household, in a predominantly Italian, Williamsburg neighborhood, next door to a Jewish synagogue, was an early influence in developing Terry's appreciation for cultural diversity. His father, William "Bill" DeCoste, was self-taught and independent, and operated his own radio repair business in the Thirties and, after World War II, ran a refrigeration service business from the Forties until his retirement in the early Seventies. Bill was active in community affairs. Terry's parents instilled in him a deep concern for others, and a respect for people of all colors, creeds and classes. Terry remembers walking his first picket line at age 8, at his father's side, in a demonstration to support demands for better conditions for recipients of "home relief", as the welfare program of the day was called. At the age of 9, Terry acted for the very first time: in the role of the 15th century Portuguese explorer "Vasco da Gama" in a historical play about the discovery of America, in auditorium of his elementary school, P.S. 88 in Brooklyn.
