His fortunes improved when he moved to Warner Bros. in 1941, where after three years' apprenticeship in sizeable secondary roles he achieved his first starring vehicle, "Make Your Own Bed" (44); he was cast in this film opposite "Jane Wyman", as part of an effort by Warners to create a "Carson"-Wyman team. While the studio hoped that "Carson" would become a comedy lead in the manner of "Bob Hope", he proved himself an able dramatic actor in films like "The Hard Way" (43)... Full Biography
