The 3 of Clubs coordinate

Brent Carver's birthday maps to the 3 of Clubs (The Creative Communicator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Tony Award and not a verdict on Brent Carver. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You move an idea across more than one channel without abandoning the one that needs depth.

Brent Carver in the public record

He played the central role of Molina in the premier production in Toronto (winning the Dora Award for best actor in a musical), in London's West End (nominated for an Olivier Award) and on Broadway for which he won the 1993 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. A subsequent Broadway appearance in 1999 in Parade as Leo Frank, led to a second Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Musical. Most of his career, however, was spent on Canadian stages and in Canadian film and television, work which was greeted with much acclaim and many awards, including the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. Carver was born of Welsh and Irish heritage in Cranbrook, British Columbia, the son of Lois (Wills), a clerk, and Kenneth Carver, who was in the lumber business. He was the third of seven children, none of whom went into show business, apart from himself. He almost became a teacher, but continued participating in theatre. He attended the University of British Columbia from 1969 to 1972. He sang from an early age with his father, who played guitar.
