In addition to acting, Carroll later worked as the stage manager at The Second City improv club in Toronto. His other television roles included Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning in 2008, as well as commercials.

Carroll and his colleagues oversaw the expansion of Hunters Bay Radio into a full FM station with 60 employees which now broadcasts across Muskoka's cottage country and the Almaguin Highlands.
