Early-life:
Andrew Thomas McCarthy was born in New York on November 29, 1962. He's the third youngest of four brothers and grew up in Westfield, an affluent New Jersey suburb. When he was 16, his family moved to New York, where he attended a school which encouraged his interest in acting. After appearing in numerous plays and musicals there, he began studying theatre at New York University. He also took courses at the Circle in the Square Theatre School.
Career:
While still at university, McCarthy landed a lead role in his debut movie Class (1983), opposite Rob Lowe and Jacqueline Bisset. In 2005, he made Heaven Help Us and St Elmo's Fire. The latter co-starred many of the so-called 1980s Brat Pack, of which McCarthy was a leading light. A year later he made his biggest hit, Pretty In Pink. He also starred in Mannequin (1987), Less Than Zero (1987), and Weekend at Bernie's (1989). McCarthy continued to work, but in little-seen projects, until making a comeback with TV series Kingdom Hospital in 2003. Since then he has appeared in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Lipstick Jungle, and Gossip Girl. He also works extensively on stage.
