Michael Carr, born in 1929 in Chicago, Illinois, carved a niche in the realm of cult cinema with his performances in the notorious Faces of Death series. He appears in Faces of Death (1978), Faces of Death II (1981), and Faces of Death III (1985), where he contributed to the controversial exploration of death and mortality that defined the franchise. Carr's work in these films underscores the fascination with shock and exploitation in the late 20th century, making him a notable figure in the annals of grindhouse cinema.

This third installment focuses largely on serial killers, with lengthy re-enactments of police investigations of bodies being found in a dumpster, and a staged courtroom sequence with Schwartz again making a cameo appearance as the serial killer on trial for raping and murdering a girl, allegedly captured on video. Schwartz has identified the girl allegedly killed in the video as his then girlfriend, who he claims was a willing participant.
