Andrew McCarthy Options

[agbdiva]

I absolutely loved Andrew McCarty's character. He is so handsome now that he's older. I loved him in St. Elmo's Fire. He is listed on the IMDB as being in only 1 episode, which concerns me.

All I can say is when I was a teenager I thought he was the cutest of the 'brat pack' and now it can be held true that he really still is 20 years later. YUM

[agbdiva]

He is still a hottie! His last scene was deliciously romantic and sexy!

It was nice seeing him on the show. He hasn't changed a bit.

He is a recurring character, too. Here is his bio:

Andrew McCarthy stars in NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" as "Joe Bennett," a multi-billionaire who relies heavily on his assistant for everything, including asking out women such as Victory Ford (Lindsay Price). He doesn't like to be bothered with anything, as he feels everything can be solved with money and power. Joe wants what he wants and rarely takes no for an answer until now – when he must conquer the love of Victory.

At the age of 19, McCarthy made his screen debut in the feature film "Class," paving the way for him to appear in more than 30 feature films, numerous television shows and more than two dozen live theater productions. One of the few actors working successfully and simultaneously in all mediums, McCarthy has built a resume as extensive as it is versatile.

He can soon be seen in Paramount's fantasy adventure "The Spiderwick Chronicles," as well as the independent film "Camp Hope."

The last several years have seen McCarthy branch into directing and writing, with the award-winning short film, "News for the Church," and in the theater, most recently, by directing the acclaimed production of Neil Labute's "Things We Said Today" off-Broadway. As a writer, he has also contributed articles to "National Geographic Traveler Magazine," "Travel + Leisure," and Slate.com.

It was during the 1980s that McCarthy gained recognition in Hollywood when he starred in such iconic films as "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Pretty in Pink," as well as the cult favorites "Mannequin" and "Weekend at Bernies." The '90s saw him work with such esteemed directors as Claude Chabrol and John Frankenheimer and in films as varied as "The Joy Luck Club," "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle," and "Mulholland Falls," among others.

Andrew made his New York Theater debut in 1985. He has starred on Broadway in "The Boys of Winter," and in the Tony Award-winning play "Sideman," and appeared in the works of Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Horton Foote, to name a few. His most recent New York appearance was in Neil Labute's "Fat Pig."

I agree!!

Who watched it - I will not give away spoilers but I really enjoyed it. At first I was like there is NO way i can see Brooke in this role (I thought her role was that of a power bitch like Samantha) but I totally love her in the show. I also really liked Niko.

The one i am not sold on is the designer and that is becasue she just looks so much younger then the others and her youngness makes her look naive in comparision.

MY Andrew and I are going to get re-married..I was married to him when i was a teenager. MY GOD how just yummy is he!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE his character...The final scene with him - SWOONS!!!

Andrew McCarthy definitely makes my heart beat faster! I adore his character! I, too, hope that Andrew stays on permanently. He makes the show even better!

[showlover]

I'm completely in love with Andrew. He is the perfect Mr. Bennet he is perfect for the role. and the chemistry between Victory and Him are just YUMMY!!!!!! but I'm also worry cause in IMBD it said that he was going to appeared in only 1 show! Why? can anybody find out and explain it to me!!!!!

I totally agree with you that Andrew McCarthy is perfect as Joe Bennett. I sincerely hope they keep him on the show. Andrew is the only reason I watch Lipstick Jungle. He is just too great of an actor to be cut from the show. Andrew is definitely the greatest actor to come out of the 80's and is still a great actor today. He is an extremely versatile actor and has the unique ability to completely absorb himself in his character. The chemistry between Victory and Andrew is great. For these reasons Andrew should definitely remain on the show. IMDB is now showing 3 episodes that Andrew is appearing in, not one like before. Hopefully this is a good sign.

Andrew McCarthy is still SO HOT! Sick. Though, not to be too cynical ... but, pleeease: men like his character do NOT exist. No man acts like that dude after date, what, 3? "Let me fly you to Miami for lunch; search for and buy you a hat you made in college' ... Riiight. Seriously - they haven't even slept together yet, right? I don't know - something's up. He's going to turn out to be a total ahole stalker or something. NBC/show producers are just setting up the swept-off-the-feet fairy tale to make for a bigger shocking turn of events ... gay? He's going to pull a Tom Cruise 'I'm secret gay and I need a fake wife for appearances' situation?

But, it's OK - his firing hotness makes up for his silly character.

BTW, his 80s days characters were the hottest.

Andrew McCarthy's Diary: A weeklong electronic journal.

Making Lipstick Jungle (there are 5 entries)

Excerpt from entry one:

Nov. 8, 2007—I am sitting at a table in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, about to do a table read of the first two episodes of Lipstick Jungle, a new television show for NBC based on Candace Bushnell's novel of the same name. At any given point in the last six months, I would have told you that the odds of my sitting here were 50-50—at best. Candace is the person responsible for creating Sex and the City, and because of that, there has been a lot of time and attention focused on Lipstick Jungle in the hope that lightning might strike twice. But the history of this project has been fraught—even by television's fickle standards...

Ummm, I dated a pilot who used to fly me places for the day. And I dated a another guy who flew me to Palm Beach, Florida for Valentine's Day. And I never slept with either of them, and neither of them were gay. And they were both good looking.

Yeah they had other issues, but still...

I like Andrew's potrayal of his character, J.Bennett. He wrote about it in Slate magazine and it reveals another side of Andrew. I find him irresistibly handsome and it's hard not to fall in love with him. Thank goodness for Tivo. I just play back the scenes on the ending episodes. :-)

[OKCFan]

I really hope we see more of Andrew in the episodes to come, I catch myself smiling in every scene he is in...what else is there to say besides, HE IS SO SEXY!!!! Bring on Mr. Bennett PLEASE!!!!!
