Carl Wright was an American tap dancer, actor, and comedian whose late life acting credits included Soul Food, Barbershop, and Big Momma's House. For several years, Wright teamed with Chicago radio legend Pervis Spann, playing a misguided and mischievous reverend on his Chicago television show "Blues and More".

He toured as a tap dancer as a young man, and for a time performed as The Three-Leggers with a one-legged partner. Wright died of cancer at his home in Chicago in 2007.
