Andrew McCarthy Career

McCarthy's first major role was in the 1983 comedy Class opposite Jacqueline Bisset. He involuntarily became a member of the 1980s Hollywood group of young actors known as the "Brat Pack". The group starred in a few films, among them St. Elmo's Fire and Pretty in Pink. McCarthy appeared in the 1987 films Mannequin and Less than Zero, a cinematic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel. In 1985, McCarthy starred with Donald Sutherland and Kevin Dillon in Heaven Help Us (also known as Catholic Boys) as Michael Dunn. McCarthy made his Broadway debut in The Boys of Winter. He quickly returned to Hollywood in 1988 to star in several films, such as Fresh Horses and Kansas. He had another hit with the 1989 comedy film Weekend at Bernie's.

He returned to Broadway to star in Side Man, and the production won the 1999 Tony Award for Best Play. In 2003 McCarthy was set to guest star in two episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Due to bad relations with actor Vincent D'Onofrio, series creator Dick Wolf decided against it. Wolf later stated, "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, he later guest starred in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent (with Chris Noth, not D'Onofrio) that originally aired in November 2007. In 2004, he played Dr. Hook in Kingdom Hospital. He appeared in five episodes of the 2005 NBC television series E-Ring. In 2008, he starred in the NBC television series Lipstick Jungle as billionaire Joe Bennett and had a minor role in The Spiderwick Chronicles.

McCarthy directed several episodes of the hit CW television series Gossip Girl, including "Touch of Eva" in the fourth season. In 2010 and 2011, he appeared in the hit USA show White Collar. He returned to the series in the next season to direct the episode "Neighborhood Watch". In 2015, he directed three episodes in Season 2 of the NBC hit television show The Blacklist starring James Spader and Megan Boone. In 2016, he starred in the short-lived ABC drama The Family. Since 2020, he has had a recurring role in NBC's TV series Good Girls. In April 2022, McCarthy joined the cast of The Resident as Ian Sullivan (guest season 5) a renowned pediatric surgeon and Cade's estranged father. On July 11, 2022, it was announced that he was promoted to series regular for the sixth season.

Rob Lowe is looking back on his days as a member of the group known as the Brat Pack, a moniker which was coined nearly 40 years ago. A New York Magazine article by David Blum published on June 10, 1985 was entitled Hollywood's Brat Pack, a spin on the Rat Pack of the 1960s. The article followed members of the group such as Lowe, 60, Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy on a night out partying in New York City.

What REALLY happened to the original Brat Pack as Andrew McCarthy debuts new Hulu documentary about the '80s squad - from Rob Lowe's sex tape to Anthony Michael Hall's arrest

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 13, 2024
During the early '80s, a group of young and aspiring actors were all propelled into the spotlight around the same time after they starred in a slew of coming-of-age films together - earning the nickname the Brat Pack. For years, they were Hollywood royalty - but one by one, many members of the Brat Pack unfortunately began to cripple under the intense fame and descend on a downward spiral fueled by incessant partying, drinking, and drug use. A lot had their careers derailed by a series of controversies ranging from a sex tape (with a 16-year-old girl) to a felony assault charge. Soon the question arose, would the squad who once reigned the movie industry suffer the same fate as many other child and teen stars that have had to leave the spotlight for good, or if they would ultimately overcome the magnitude of scandals and bounce back? As the world gears up for the documentary Brats, FEMAIL has revealed what really happened to each of the Brat Pack members, and broke down the many difficulties they faced over the years, from drug addiction battles and run-ins with the law to multiple failed marriages and an explosive cheating scandal.
