Career

It was during the 1980's that McCarthy gained recognition in Hollywood. His classic, clean-cut good looks continually had him placed as the sincere and kind leading man. As McCarthy's career grew, he involuntarily became a member of the infamous 80's Hollywood teen group, the Brat Pack. In fact, McCarthy's better known films include the Brat Pack films, such as St. Elmo's Fire and Pretty in Pink. During the filming of St. Elmo's Fire, McCarthy took up smoking. He was unable to kick the habit until 1995.^[1] Years after the filming of Pretty in Pink, fellow co-star and Brat Pack member Molly Ringwald admitted to having a huge crush on Andrew during the filming. She found him "incredibly cute" and "dreamy" ^[2]In 1985 McCarthy did his best to escape Hollywood by making his Broadway debut in The Boys of Winter. He eventually returned to Hollywood to perform. As the 90's neared, McCarthy's career began to falter. He starred in several disappointing films that were unable to captivate audiences, such as Fresh Horses and Kansas. Although his 1989 comedy film Weekend at Bernie's was a hit, it failed to lift his career back up.

Although he had few roles in the 1990s, he continued acting, even returning to Broadway Theater to star in Side Man. In 2003, McCarthy was set to guest star in two episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. However, 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." ^[3] In 2004, he returned to prominence playing Dr. Hook in Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital. Since 2005 he has appeared with some regularity in episodes of the TV show E-Ring. He now has a theatrical feature in the works, The Spiderwick Chronicles, expected for release in February 2008.

Personal Life

In 1999, McCarthy married his college sweetheart Carol Schneider, 20 years after they first dated. He later stated his reasons for tracking down Schneider as, "I ran into someone who said they had seen Carol and her boyfriend and they seemed really happy, and for some reason it bothered me for a week. I called her and asked her if she was really with this guy and asked her out for a coffee." ^[4] In 2002, Schneider gave birth to their son Sam McCarthy.

In 2004, he announced that he had once had a serious alcohol problem, which began at twelve-years-old. However, in 1992 he entered detox and has been sober since. ^[5]
