Andrew McCarthy is a multi-talented individual whose body of work spans across acting, directing, and writing. As an actor, he is renowned for his roles in 1980's classics like "St. Elmo's Fire," "Pretty in Pink," "Mannequin," and "Weekend at Bernie's," which earned him a place in the Brat Pack and the No. 40 spot on VH1's 100 Greatest Teen Stars of all time list. McCarthy's directorial prowess is showcased in the hit TV series "Orange Is the New Black," "Gossip Girl," and "The Blacklist." Furthermore, his role as a recurring character in NBC's series "Good Girls" and as a cast member of "The Resident" in 2022 attests to his continued relevance in the industry.
McCarthy's talents are not limited to the silver screen; he is also a noted travel writer and editor. His affiliation with the National Geographic Traveler magazine as an Editor at Large and his awards from the Society of American Travel Writers, including the Travel Journalist of the Year in 2010, speak volumes about his prowess in travel writing. McCarthy's literary credits include "The Longest Way Home: One Man's Quest for the Courage to Settle Down" published in 2012, a YA novel "Just Fly Away" that made it to the New York Times bestseller list in 2017, and his memoirs "Brat: An '80s Story" and "Walking with Sam: A Father, a Son, and Five Hundred Miles Across Spain" released in May 2021 and 2023, respectively. In 2026, he published "Who Needs Friends: An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America."
Apart from his various roles in the entertainment and publishing industries, McCarthy maintains a strong public presence.
