First he established himself as a highly respected principal dancer with the renowned Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, in addition to performing in many landmark music videos and award shows. He went on to captivate audiences around the world, alongside Madonna on the Blond Ambition tour, in the feature film Truth or Dare, and on The Girlie Show tour, propelling him to be one of the most celebrated dancers ever to make a mark on the Hollywood scene. As an actor Carlton has starred and guest starred in over 20 A-list film and TV projects, including ABC’s Oprah Winfrey presents Tuesday’s with Morrie, HBO’s Made Men produced by Joel Silver, CSI:Miami, The Practice, NYPD Blue and The Mentalist.

He has also starred off-Broadway in Blade to the Heat, directed by Tony Award winner George Wolf, for The New York Shakespeare Festival, and he’s been a principle performer for nearly two dozen National commercial campaigns. As a writer Mr. Wilborn has been published in several magazines, and in 2007 he received the Best Autobiography award, from USA Book News, for his debut book Front & Center—How I Learned To Live There.

His work as an independent producer and director, have carried him to the webisode world, Las Vegas (grand ballroom) corporate events, and high concept music videos.

He is also dedicated to his “calling” of Empowerment Teaching; igniting freedom, courage and healing. Which, has enabled him to contribute his knowledge and wisdom to churches, non-for-profit organizations, and a cross-section of individuals throughout North America and Internationally. The key principles that support his work as a life-coach, workshop leader and event speaker are authenticity, integrity, forgiveness, faith and gratitude.

With Mr. Wilborn feeling the need to take a more responsible position in Hollywood, he set up 490 Entertainment. That decision, already, affords him the opportunity to bundle many of his artistic and leadership skills, and over the next year, launch 490E’s first feature length film Breakout, as well as, the TV series Complicated.

This is Carlton’s recent a-ha moment “my entire life journey thus far, has all been about me getting nurtured and properly positioned for 490E.”
