Woodworth created history in April 2006 by becoming the first foreign lead of a Mainland Chinese film when he was cast as an American war journalist in the historical drama China 1949.[3] The film centers on Woodworth's foreign correspondent character, as he struggles through war and politics to get to the truth of the events leading up to the Communist Party of China (CPC) victory against the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War in 1949. Since then he has been cast as a lead role in two drama series for CCTV and leads in independent feature films.

He speaks German and Mandarin. Cary is left-handed.
