Andrew McCarthy Acting Career
McCarthy had his first major role first in 1983 in a comedy Class. He involuntarily became a member of “Brat Pack”, the 1980s Hollywood group of young actors. They appeared in a few films, among them St. Elmo’s Fire and Pretty in Pink. McCarthy starred in the 1987 films, Mannequin and Less Than Zero, a theatrical adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel.
McCarthy starred alongside Donald Sutherland and Kevin Dillon in the 1985 film Heaven Help Us (also known as Catholic Boys) as Michael Dunn. He made his Broadway debut in The Boys of Winter. In 1988, he quickly returned to Hollywood to star in several films, such as Fresh Horses and Kansas. McCarthy had another hit with the 1989 comedy film Weekend at Bernie’s.
McCarthy returned to Broadway theatre to star in Side Man, McCarthy’s version of the play and in 1999 won a Tony Award for Best Play. He was set to guest star in two episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in 2003. Because of bad relations with actor Vincent D’Onofrio, series creator Dick Wolf decided against it.
Wolf later said that “Mr. McCarthy engaged in fractious behavior from the moment he walked on the set.” McCarthy fired back in a statement of his own saying, “I was fired because I refused to allow a fellow actor to threaten me with physical violence, bully me and try to direct me.”
Despite this incident, McCarthy later guest-starred in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent (with Chris Noth, not D’Onofrio) that originally aired in November 2007. He played Dr. Hook in Kingdom Hospital in 2004.
McCarthy appeared in five episodes of the 2005 NBC television series E-Ring. He starred in the 2008 NBC television series Lipstick Jungle as a billionaire, but was eventually canceled and had a minor role in The Spiderwick Chronicles.
